Our season begins with the powerful and emotional Concert Overture No. 1 in E minor by groundbreaking 19th-century composer, Louise Farrenc, launching our adventures into places known and unknown. Next, CCS teams up with “lyrical soprano of ravishing quality,” Laura Choi Stuart, to carry us into the enchanting world of Canteloube’s Chants d’Auvergne rich with folk-inspired melodies and lush harmonies that transport us to the idyllic landscapes of rural France. Our journey continues with a musical expedition to Hovhannes’ Mysterious Mountain inspired by the American Southwest. This leg of our travels concludes in Norway, where Grieg’s iconic Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 brings legendary Scandinavian folk hero Peer Gynt to life through a collection of four vibrant movements.
