Daphnis et Chloé + Lotus Prayer + Gershwin's Concerto in F- Masterworks III

This spring concert wraps up the Masterworks season with an exciting lineup of orchestral music. You'll experience three distinct pieces: Xi Wang's contemplative Lotus Prayer, Gershwin's upbeat Concerto in F (featuring pianist Suzanne Newcomb), and Ravel's lush Daphnis et Chloé. The evening showcases everything from meditative passages to jazz-influenced melodies and rich, sweeping orchestral textures. What makes this performance special is the added educational component. Composer Xi Wang will be present at the concert, and afterward there's a talk diving into Lotus Prayer and the creative thinking behind the work. This gives families a chance to learn directly from the artist and gain insight into how these pieces come together. It's a wonderful opportunity for anyone who enjoys classical music or wants to introduce children to live orchestral performance and composer interaction.
