About the program |
Our theme for the spring is “Gone Too Soon.” We will present the music of composers whose creative careers were cut shut short, having died at relatively young ages. Among those composers featured are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, Giovanni Pergolesi, Henry Purcell, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Maddalena Casulana, and George Bizet. Also included are George Gershwin, Scott Joplin, John Lennon, and Steve Goodman. There will be a few familiar selections among them, but, as is our wont, some rarely heard, uncovered gems, composed by these familiar names. Joining us as guest artist for this concert is the marvelous soprano Josfien Stoppelenburg. Ms Stoppelenburg will be the featured soloist in our central work for the evening, Franz Schubert’s glorious composition, “Miriam’s song of Triumph."
