Take a musical journey into the future of life on this planet. Apotheosis of This Earth grapples with the ecological consequences of humankind’s violence towards nature. Composed by Karel Husa in 1971, its themes are still relevant today. Also, experience the world premiere of Dana Wilson’s violin concerto titled Of my dream before me… featuring Professor James Stern on violin and inspired by the Langston Hughes poem "As I Grew Older." Rounding out the program will be Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps (Of a Spring Morning), J.S. Bach’s My Jesus! Oh, What Anguish, BWV 487 and Johannes Brahms' Three Chorale Preludes.
