Transatlantic Sounds

In the organizer's words:

Opera, song and symphony from England and the USA

This concert program tells of landscapes and people on both sides of the Atlantic, featuring three important 20th century composers from England and the USA. Barber's orchestral song Knoxville: Summer of 1915 describes a melancholy evening mood from the perspective of a boy, while the final death scene from the opera Antony and Cleopatra marks the end of a great love. Music can also speak without sung words - particularly vividly in Britten's Four Sea Interludes or in Vaughan Williams' peacefully fading Symphony No. 5.
