The morning sunrise, a day in the garden,
baseball…summer may be short-lived in the Northwest, but its pleasures
are deeply loved. Samuel Barber’s masterpiece, Reincarnations, captures both
the season’s calm and intense moments. Eric Whitacre’s A boy and a girl depicts
two young lovers alone at the beach. We will close the season
with Rossini’s William Tell Overture. Surely
there is no sunnier piece to celebrate summer!
