Kettle Moraine Symphony presents Elgar, Grainger and Brahms

Description

Light and Dark: Comparing Selections from Elgar, Grainger and Brahms
For Wisconsin residents such as ourselves, the end of February is a time of "both and." It's both cold AND yet you might catch a whiff of warm spring air. It's winter and yet we all know March, and hopefully spring with it, are right around the corner. It's a time for layers, weather apps, and maybe planning some spring projects. It's so "iffy" that we leave weather predictions in February up to a large rodent. When you attend February's concert, your ears will enjoy what your layers of cardigans and our beloved groundhog have been telling you: there is both light and dark everywhere in our daily life.

Both Elgar's Serenade for Strings and Grainger's Lincolnshire Posie are light, folksy pieces that will leave you feeling lighthearted with a spring in your step. But wait - Brahms's second symphony will snap you right back to winter with its gloomy melancholy.
See you on February 19th.
