Masterworks Series III- Stuart
Town and Countryย
ย Masterworks 3 explores music that searches for peaceโwhether in the bustling city or the serene countryside. Coplandโs Quiet City paints an introspective, nocturnal portrait of urban solitude, while Beethovenโs beloved Pastorale Symphony evokes the joys of nature, from tranquil streams to a dramatic summer storm and a grateful hymn of thanksgiving. Between them, Paul Fruchtโs Finding Religion, inspired by a song of Charles Ives, reflects on the complexities of faith and human yearning. Our own concertmaster, Leonid Sigal, and audience favorite, cellist Julian Schwarz, bring this moving double concerto to life in a program that speaks to the beauty and contradictions of the human spirit.ย
