We have two concerts, back-to-back, with very different repertoire, just two weeks apart.
It's hard to compete with the likes of Faure and Mozart. (A little bit like following the the reigning gold medalist in the olympic trials.) But, my experience with the last concert has opened the door for a whole new appreciation of the newer works. Getting under the skin of the Requiem and the Mass have inspired me to explore the why's and how's of next week's program. I find that if I can establish a relationship with the works they take on a new life of their own. So hello Hanson, Berger, Bach, and Finzi - I look forward to getting to know you.
