Be warmed on this Sunday in February by Music Inspired by the Sun

Spanish impressionist composer Turina’s piano trio starts just before the sun comes up and ends as it sets. Jennifer Higdon’s trio evokes two very different moods and colors that are often associated with the sun. Terry Riley’s landmark minimalist quartet was inspired by a conversation with a 7 year-old child of a friend who wondered about how there might be a collector who came around every sunrise and gathered up all the dreams so that they could be redistributed the next day. And finally, one of Haydn’s most famous string quartets called Sunrise will bring the concert to a rousing finish!
