Symphony N. 2 in D Major, Op. 36; Elaine Rinaldi and Don Cannarozzi

This interactive concert experience takes participants on an adventure around the world from Argentina to Mexico to Spain and ending with the inspiring story of Ferdinand the Bull – a tale of peace and standing up to bullies. Ferdinand and his friends will be brought to life by our string family, through the music of George Bizet’s Carmen in a 30-minute concert performed by GMYS Symphony students, accompanied by dual language narration, and visuals that bring the story to life. Perfect as a bedtime story but be sure to come early for creative brain teasers and to stick around for live activities following the performance

Peeks into the Infinite II is the second of the two programs celebrating the 250th birth year of Ludwig van Beethoven by exploring the genre of the Bagatelle, from Beethoven until the modern day. A Bagatelle, by definition, is something trivial and minute. In Beethoven’s hands, it transcended these connotations, becoming a medium to express ideas ranging from profoundly philosophical to humorous and aphoristic. The title of the program refers to bagatelles as snapshots of infinitely-varied psychological states. Composers have continued to explore these musical forms in every generation following Beethoven. In this program, pianists Lindsay Garritson, Redi Llupa, Maria Sumareva, and Andrew Rosenblum will perform piano bagatelles by Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, Carl Vine, Elisabeth Lutyens, and Jane O’Leary - one of the winners of Kaleidoscope MusArt’s Call for Scores 2020. The concert presentation will include introductory talks by the performers and composer Jane O’Leary. Digital artworks by Sebastian Spreng will be displayed during Redi Llupa’s performance of Lutyens’ Five Bagatelles. The registration for the event is free. Donations of any amount are welcome and greatly appreciated. Your support helps us keep our programs going!
