SUMMARY:A Musical Menagerie
DESCRIPTION:This January\, conductor Conner Gray Covington leads your family on a thrilling trip to our musical zoo! Things get buzzing with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s zippy Flight of the Bumblebee. In Camille Saint-Saëns’s humorous Carnival of the Animals\, clucking chickens\, lumbering elephants\, and braying donkeys all make their appearance. Works by Modest Mussorgsky\, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky\, and Ludwig van Beethoven paint vivid scenes of children playing\, swans dancing\, and birds calling to each other by a brook. Our visit ends with The Mountain That Loved a Bird\, in which Caroline Shaw’s stirring music brings Alice McLerran’s heartwarming fable to musical life.\nTickets are free\, but please register on the website through the ticket platform at https://www.proarte.org/concerts/a-musical-menagerie.\nSponsored by Newton Cultural Council and the Music Performance Trust Fund of the American Federation of Musicians

SUMMARY:Capella Clausura presents "'in tongues': Ruehr's "Cassandra"
DESCRIPTION:Magic spells\, prophecies\, secrets\, prayers; what happens when words mean more than what they say? Speech has the power to persuade\, clarify\, distort\, and to move. It can even affect the way we remember things\, the ways our minds encode memories. This program\, centered around Elena Ruehr’s magnificent choral opera “Cassandra”\, considers these questions. The figure of Cassandra\, from Ancient Greek mythology\, provides perspective for understanding these questions. In myth\, Cassandra’s blessing is that she can see the future; her curse is that no one believes or understands her prophecies. \nFeaturing music by: Elena Ruehr\, Julia Wolfe\, Alissa Voth\, and Isaac Roth Blumfield
