Timeless Concerts

London to Rome!

From English jigs to the familiar well-loved Neapolitan songs of Italy, to the music of the Red Violin movie! English composer Gustav Holst composed the famous symphonic work, “The Planets”. However, a charming work of his, not as well known, is on our program: The Saint Paul Suite. This wonderful work has the feel of English jigs and incorporates the traditional “Greensleeves” melody in the 3rd movement. Holst also composed beautiful songs for soprano that will be sung by Youna Hartgraves. Tenor Sergio Cepeda will sing traditional Neapolitan songs, and both will perform Italian opera arias. Soprano Sabrina Romero-Wilson will also join us singing various songs of England. Violinist Tim Angel will perform the virtuosic Red Violin Caprices, composed for the 1998 drama film Red Violin, by John Corigliano. Other performers include violinist LeeAnne Chenoweth, pianist Heejung Kang, and cellist Drew Johnson. Pianist Simon Petty will be your post-concert party pianist. Complimentary wine, soft drinks, and snacks. BYOB allowed, but bottle must be left with bartender.
