Things take an eclectic turn with the GSO’s opening performance of the season. The music of four composers who failed to reach the age of forty sets the scene and asks the question of how their music would have developed had they not each met an untimely, and early death.

Program:
Georges Bizet – Carmen Suites No. 1 & 2
Charles Tomlinson Griffes – The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan
Felix Mendelssohn – Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich
Lili Boulanger – Pour les funérailles d’un soldat
Lili Boulanger – Vieille prière bouddhique (Old Buddhist Prayer)
