Rachmaninoff

Join us on a romantic journey through the music of Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff. From his mighty Symphonies down to his lilting waltzes and dark, powerful tone poems that search the extremes of human emotions through the most surprising lyricism, his compositions are the epitome of the Romantic Era at its absolute best.

Adams

This concert will feature the works of America's most influential living composer, John Adams. While the core of Adams' work is rooted in the classical form, he has a special talent for combining the music with elements of jazz, tango, rock, and even pop. Often, his pieces are short but always powerful. The famous "Short Ride in a Fast Machine" is a great example of his work and is always a hit with audiences. This piece, along with selected sections from "Harmonielehre" and other works by the composer, will surely keep you entertained throughout the evening. The Pulitzer Prize awarded to "Nixon in China" as well as his numerous Grammy Awards are testaments to his contribution to the modern classical music and his influence on the artists today. The style of Adams is characterized by powerful and memorable melodies, varied and complex rhythms, and a wide variety of different sounds and sonorities.
