This program features works by Rebecca Clarke, Louis Spohr, Osvaldo Golijov, and Claude Debussy. “Quiet and searching notes open the program, in a way to ‘wash away’ regular life, almost a meditation. Abrupt shift to brisk motion … fleeting thoughts and feelings, how one stitches together these fragments of hope. Take a journey through ‘hidden gem’ repertoire with a program inspired by Samuel Johnson’s thought: The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope.” – Ginger Kroft
