A Word from Our Director

Friends!

Why come to a concert? Where else can you experience the music being made at that moment by some of our area’s finest musicians? Where else can you let it envelop you and transport you to a world away from the challenges of everyday life? Where else can you share that feeling with those you love? Where else can you learn about what to listen for in the pieces?

This season you’ll get to celebrate the two-hundredth anniversary of the births of Chopin and Liszt. We’ll feature some of my favorite pieces: the complete Mussorgsky/Ravel Pictures at an Exhibition (my first record!), Appalachian Spring, Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, Dances from West Side Story, and Gershwin’s American in Paris. Our family concert will honor American heroes, and we’ll celebrate Christmas with the Nutcracker and summer with another “Pops at the Post”!

Come join us for these exciting concerts and enjoy hearing these once-in-a-lifetime experiences!
