MUSIC OF THE NORTH COUNTRIES

Texas is hot in July! Dress casually. We take you to the northern countries of the world. Cool off listening to the one of the greatest composers of all time, Tchaikovsky (1840-1893) of Russia. (You know his "Nutcracker Ballet" music, "1812 Overture" and more!) We will perform the first movement of his beautiful, seldom heard work for piano, violin and cello; his trio Op. 50. We will contrast his work with music of contemporary composer Ola Gjeilo, born in Norway in 1978. (Yay-lo) Gjeilo's music is described as cinematic and evocative, with a lush, harmonious sound. Plus, violinist Keyreel Raskolenko will perform Norwegian fiddle and folk music, and 0ur vocalists will sing songs of Scandinavia and more.

Performers: violinists LeeAnne Chenoweth and Keyreel Raskolenko, cellist Alice Jeong-A Lee, pianist Heejung Kang, soprano Youna Hartgraves, and baritone Erik Larson. Post-concert pianist Erik Barnes (Hickman Center only) will take your requests to make the party memorable! As always, we provide complimentary wine, soft drinks, and snacks. Although BYOB is allowed at the Hickman, bottles must be left with the bartender for pouring.

There is table seating for 2 or up to 12. Reservations are needed early for larger groups, as we cannot guarantee fitting late ticket buyers into previously reserved groups. We seat from front to back in order of date/time tickets purchased.
