Shadow and Light: Music from Theater, Film, and Dance
The Earlham Symphony Orchestra, with guest community and professional musicians performs an exceptional series of pieces associated with stage and screen. They alternate in mood between light and shadow, reflecting the depths of human experience. The program features classical overtures to stage plays by Beethoven (Goethe's Egmont) and Mendelssohn (Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream), film music from Platoon (the beautiful Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber), and from Hitchcock's Psycho, concluding with the iconic ballet suite Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copland.
