Upcoming Events:
| Sat, Oct 9 8:00 pm more info | Mahler’s Resurrection The late-Washington composer Andreas Makris reflects on his Greek origins in the Aegean Festival Overture, which blends classic form and folklore elements. The rarely performed A Sorrowful Tale by Polish composer Mieczyslaw Karlowicz (1876-1909) is a somber symphonic tone poem offset by recollections of happier times. Finally, one of Mahler’s most popular symphonies, Symphony No. 2, presents the composer’s meditations on afterlife and resurrection.

| Sat, Oct 23 8:00 pm more info | Dvorak's New World Symphony Among Dvorak's most beloved works are two he wrote while in America: the Cello Concerto and Symphony No. 9, popularly known as the New World Symphony. The concerto allows Zuill Bailey, one of the pre-eminent cellists of his generation, to display his compelling artistry and technical expertise. Dvorak maintained that he wrote Symphony No. 9 “in the spirit” of Native American music, but it also combines many multinational sources, including the folk music of the composer’s native Bohemia.
