Kodály Dances of Galánta

J.S. Bach Oboe d'Amore Concerto
Your first time to hear the oboe d’amore? This duskier cousin of the modern oboe has a soulful, sweet sound that Bach adored and placed at the center of this piece of reverence and reflection.

Orff Carmina Burana
Medieval monks had more on their minds than scripture–women, beer and the ever-turning wheel of fate most prominent. Orff set their words to dramatically colorful music in his iconic Carmina Burana.

Program Update: Tenor Barry Banks is unable to appear on the program. Andrew Morstein will replace him for these concerts.
