Make this Mother's Day a day to remember as you travel down the Mississippi and Moldau rivers in a concert that celebrates musical creativity and the beauty of Mother Earth. The melodic and rhythmic ebb and flow of Florence Price's "The Mississippi River" reveals the landscapes and people of a region made rich by southern spirituals and New Orleans jazz. Then let Bedrich Smetana's "The Moldau" take you past jubilant hunters, a village wedding, a legendary gorge, and whitewater rapids on the way to Prague and its Bohemian castle, Vysehrad. Rounding out the afternoon, Martin Rokeach's Piccolo Concerto, with soloist Amy Likar, takes you on an optimistic and celebratory journey as it showcases the instrument's uniquely sweet-toned low register. A joyous afternoon for the whole family on a very special day!
Adults $45, Youth 13-17 $15, Children 12 and under free; $35 for senior groups of 10+
