How did a visiting composer versus those who spent their lives and careers there use different approaches to bring the sounds of a culture to life? We’ll look at Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4 and Verdi and Puccini’s arias\, as well as other music inspired by both foreign travels and devotion to homeland. \nSuitable for interested novices and seasoned fans alike\, this adult education group will explore the history\, theory and stories behind epic classical works each week. Led by Stoner Family Education Curator Meaghan Heinrich\, prepare for the coming weekend’s Festival Orchestra concerts or simply join the discussion in the Classical Music Listening Club.
