Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony always invigorates and the famous “Ode to Joy” delivers a powerful message of unity and peace. The program also features thoughtful and reflective pieces by two of today’s celebrated women composers, Canadian Vivian Fung and American Jessie Montgomery.
You are invited to attend a Prelude presentation before the Thursday, May 4th and Saturday, May 6th evening concerts, starting at 6:45 PM in the Upper Circle Lobby (3rd Floor). This talk by musicologist D.T. Baker is a fantastic way to learn more about the pieces being performed in your concert.
