Schubert’s The Great C Major Symphony with Richard Egarr

May 10-12, 2024

Artistic Partner Richard Egarr returned to escort us on a musical journey contrasting darkness and light. The overture to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s beloved opera, The Magic Flute, called upon the power of truth, love and beauty to conquer the darkness while The Unanswered Question, Charles Ives’ riddle-like work, featured a contemplative trumpet solo asking the “eternal question.” The Great C Major, Franz Schubert’s monumental symphony, began reverently before being enriched with many moments of ecstatic joy.
