Led by members of WCM’s faculty artists and held at the Historic McIntosh-Goodrich Mansion on Prospect Avenue, these classes provide a world of insight into the composers and music of a featured performance. Members of the class will learn about, listen to, and discuss the music for three weeks before experiencing it in person – together!
Guest conductor Iván López Reynoso returns to the MSO to conduct Brahms’s second symphony, a serene and light-filled work that nevertheless carries a tinge of Brahms’s signature melancholy. Pianist Joyce Yang brings her “agility, balance and velocity” (Washington Post) to Gershwin’s ambitious and jazzy Concerto in F. Fittingly, this upbeat program begins with the overture to Bernstein’s comedic operetta Candide. WCM faculty member Juan Pablo Horcasitas will lead three classes discussing these works prior to the MSO performance on November 21.
