Scheherazade & Other Tales

Brilliantly Imaginistic and Enchanting.

All music tells a story, sometimes one inspired by familiar myths and legends that are bigger than life and full of mystery and drama. In this program, guest conductor Antoine Clark takes us on a fantastic musical adventure of the imagination, beginning with Anna Clyne’s rich and visually stunning In This Midnight Hour. GRAMMY-award winning soloist Kenneth Overton’s opulent baritone brings Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer to life with a vibrant, tuneful telling of the hero’s emotions. Finally, we journey to a faraway land as Rimsky-Korsakov weaves a boldly rich tale of the exotic and persuasive Scheherazade. Truly a night of music not soon forgotten.
