Humans in Nature: A Symphony of Earth and Emotion

Continue your musical journey after “Symphony 101” with our winter concert. This performance invites you to immerse yourself in the profound connections between humanity and the natural world, as expressed through the masterful works of William Grant Still, Florence Price, and Edward Grieg.

From Still’s evocative landscapes to Price’s reflections through dance and Grieg’s majestic sonic portraits of the outdoors, this concert offers a deeper exploration into the emotional power and descriptive beauty of orchestral music. Discover how these brilliant composers translated human experience into unforgettable soundscapes.

It’s the perfect next step for anyone looking to expand their appreciation for the symphony’s boundless expressiveness.
