The theme for this year’s season will be Musical Journeys. In October, we begin our journey in New York City, a specific street in NYC in fact: Broadway, around 42nd street, the “theater district!” The music that emanates from this neighborhood has literally defined American Musical Theater. But this is just the beginning of our journey.
In January, we travel north on Broadway from 42nd street to the “more established center of great art” that defines NYC: the Metropolitan Opera. We stay only briefly before we’re off across the Atlantic to theaters in Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Vienna, Dresden, and of course the Beyreuth Festspielhaus. You see, before there were movies, television, Nintendo, video games, and ipads, there was Opera!
In April, we’ll extend our journey in Europe for a bit longer as we experience wind Transcriptions of some of the world’s greatest music. This music was originally written for strings or other groups, but has now been arranged for wind instrument ensemble. We hope you will join us for this exciting trip!
