April 23, 2013 “SCHUBERT IN THE AGE OF THE SOUND BITE”
In this robotic, impersonal, computerized age, sometimes we need to find a place that is all ours, an island of tranquility. It’s at times like these, or any time really, that the glorious melodies, incandescent harmonies, and heavenly visions of Schubert’s music affect us more deeply than ever.
May 14, 2013 “BACH AND THE ROMANTICS”
What did Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn, Shostakovich, and Rachmaninoff have in common, besides being incredible pianists? They all looked to J.S. Bach for inspiration in their keyboard works. This program highlights that musical connection, along with some of Bach’s own Romantic works.
Reserved ticket prices are: Adult - $25; student - $12 -- Tickets are on sale now.
