Our first concert of the new season will feature Matt Culbertson, son of Maestro Culbertson, performing Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. The program will open with the Serenade to Music, one of Vaughan Williams’ most beloved works, in honor of the 150th anniversary of his birth. Our concertmaster, Susan Heerema, will perform the solo violin part, along with singers from St. Paul’s church.
The program also includes Benjamin Carr’s Federal Overture and Virgil Thomson’s Suite from The River, which was written for a W.P.A. documentary.
