In Oceans of Music, we leave the rivers behind and head into deeper waters. This August 23 concert plunges into the drama and mystery of the sea, beginning with sweeping selections from Richard Rodgers’ Victory at Sea and Eric Whitacre’s atmospheric Water Night, conducted by assistant conductor Christopher Cavaretta.
​
Benjamin Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, led by guest conductor Conrad Chu, brings the waves and wind of the English coast to vivid life. The evening also features A Light in the Ocean by Chris Pilsner, a contemporary meditation on the sea’s mysteries, before culminating in the crown jewel of the season: Claude Debussy’s La Mer. Let your imagination drift and dive—this concert is an oceanic odyssey.
