From the Natural World | Water

Pasadena Conservatory of Music

This season, Musical Interludes explores the work and legacies of three influential music educators: Antonio Salieri, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, and Nadia Boulanger. In the second concert of the 23/24 season we focus on the work of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, renowned for his richly textured orchestrations and use of Russian folk melodies. Hosted by PCM faculty member and KUSC host, Brian Lauritzen.

No emotion is more universal, or more difficult to define, than love. From longing and devotion to betrayal, forgiveness, and renewed commitment, Songs About Love explores the many facets and stages of this complex emotion.
