Fantastic Voyage
The idea that music plays a part in shaping our moods and emotions stretches back to the Doctrine of Affections of ancient Greece.  Contemporary film score composers know they have the power to heighten the senses of the audience through harmonies, rhythms, and timbres.  Fantasias of the Renaissance and Baroque period allowed for musical forms more fluid than allowed by structured compositions such as canzonas and sonatas.  Composers over the past century have called upon instruments to create sounds previously unimaginable, adding even more magic to the listener’s experience.  Oboist Alicia Chapman joins Kelly Brzozowski, Rosalind Buda, Sarah Dietriech, and Jody Miller for this Fantastic Voyage.  $20 suggested general admission; $10 suggested for students, seniors; no one turned away for inability to donate.
