12/1 All That Classical Jazz
No one quite blended classical music and jazz the way George Gershwin did, and his Piano Concerto is an unmatched blend of symphonic form and syncopated swing. This piece shows off his uncanny knack for timing and his distinctively American sense of style, and the sensational pianist Terrence Wilson will bring it all brilliantly to life. Guest conductor Bramwell Tovey opens the evening with a performance of his own Urban Runway, a witty take on New York and L.A. fashionistas. In a striking contrast, William Walton's First Symphony is a masterpiece of English orchestral music, overflowing with ambition and sheer human urgency.12/2 Thomas Murray
The pipe organ was designed to capture the full range of sounds in an orchestra, and few organists understand that as well as Thomas Murray. University organist and professor of music at Yale University, he's acclaimed for his interpretations of Romantic repertoire and his orchestral transcriptions. Murray's awards and accolades include the American Guild of Organists' International Artist of the Year and recognition as an honorary fellow of England's Royal College of Organists.A Midsummer Night's Midterm
Ongoing EventAs four high school friends gather to cram for a midterm on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the play comes to life before their eyes... literally! All the plot, all the wit and all the magic of one of the Bard's most popular plays is presented here along with light-hearted commentary! A Shakespeare play that everyone can understand and enjoy! Youth Production - December 7-15th
Frog and Toad
Ongoing EventArnold Lobel's well-loved characters hop from the page to the stage in Robert and Willie Reale's musical A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD. Conceived by Mr. Lobel's daughter, Adrianne Lobel, A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.
