EXPRESS YOURSELF!

These five composers musically express desperation, tenderness, affection, melancholy, and playfulness.

 

5, 4, 3, 2 – YOU'RE THE 1

An impressionistic quintet, a jazz inspired tuba quartet, a colorful Brazilian trio, and a rhythmic duo – with you in the audience the countdown is complete!

 

FIRE BREATHING VIRTUOSITY

Franck’s first work requires fearless fire breathing virtuosity, the fantasy features friendly modernism, the Blake songs are beautiful and basic Vaughan Williams, and Benny’s Gig by Gould was a great gift.

 

THE SOUND OF SADNESS

Pergolesi powerfully captures musical sadness in his deeply moving Stabat Mater scored for soprano and mezzo-soprano soloists with chamber orchestra.

 

A TALE OF THREE COMPOSERS

Listen as their stories unfold in the conversation chamber.
