Spring Fling

Copland’s Appalachian Spring opens with a slowly blooming introduction to musical themes that evoke a sense of open skies, fresh beginnings and simple pleasures.

Beethoven shares his solo woodland walks with us in his lush Pastorale Symphony, complete with woodwind bird calls and thunderous lower strings.

Special guest Luke Welch plays black composer Florence Price’s Piano Concerto, itself a spring-like story of re-emergence after its long lost manuscript was found. Price includes a toe-tapping rhythm inspired by the African juba dance.

You’ll leave refreshed with a spring in your step!
