Journey through luminous soundscapes and rustic beauty in Appalachian Spring, a concert of celestial serenity, playful charm, and sweeping Americana. The evening opens with Aaron Jay Kernis’ Musica Celestis, a transcendent work of shimmering, angelic harmonies that seem to drift through the heavens. Duo Amadeae—sisters Esther Park and Sun-A Park—bring their dazzling synchronicity and expressive touch to Poulenc’s spirited Concerto for Two Pianos in D Minor, a piece bursting with wit, elegance, and unexpected turns. Copland’s beloved Appalachian Spring brings the night to a radiant close, evoking gentle nostalgia and painting a musical portrait of open skies and endless possibility. This program offers a joyful, heartfelt journey through sound and story—a celebration of hope, imagination, and the enduring spirit.
