Romance; tropical, historical and fairytale… Exotic scenes of faraway places.
This program centers around the sensual and evocative Songs of Madagascar by Ravel and the lyrical, late-romantic style love songs by America’s Amy Beach. Scenes of hummingbirds, an evocation to Brahma, and Sephardic melodies are united with other exotic instrumental elements to delight the senses. From the real to the imaginative, the concert culminates with Elizabeth Raum’s beautiful setting and narrative of Cinderella’s fairytale love story.
Enjoy this musical Valentine’s Day treat together with someone you love!
