Our winter concert, Cryptic Currents, features music of the sea and hidden messages. We open with Mendelssohn’s overture Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, followed by Elgar’s beloved Enigma Variations. The second half of the program will feature soloist Michael Emery in Shostakovich’s fiery first Violin Concerto, a piece full of coded references to the composer and his brutal treatment under Stalin.
