The Spoken Word and Beyond
Wilhelmina Smith, artistic director
Join us for our 14th season of chamber music concerts-"The
Spoken Word and Beyond." Each program will highlight a chamber
work devoted to the spoken word and explore its unique configuration
of music and speech. As always, you'll hear works by some of today's
leading composers, blended seamlessly with the great classical
repertoire - all played by the world's most exceptional artists.
Don't miss a note.
