Kick off Picosa’s 13th season with an evening of thrilling contrasts, spellbinding folklore, and vivid sonic worlds!
From the whimsical, virtuosic banter of Shulamit Ran’s Flight of the Brave Chicken: Ode To Nina to the dark, Appalachian-tinged storytelling of Stacy Garrop’s Silver Dagger, this program spans the full spectrum of chamber music colors.
Experience a world premiere by Howard Whitaker, the lush cycles of Turina’s Círculo, and Aaron Copland’s inimitable Appalachian Spring. This is an opening night packed with theatrical flair and sheer sonic delight.
