Last Words and Dramatic Scenes
Thursday, May 30 at 7:30pm
Joseph Strug Concert Hall, Fountain School of Performing Arts
1385 Seymour St., Halifax
Sponsored by Mary Lu MacDonald and Karen Woolhouse
Tonight’s concert is bookended by the last major chamber works by Schumann and Mozart: moving, eloquent, and utterly satisfying. Also on the program: the premiere of an operatic scene for solo clarinet by Nova Scotia’s John Plant, especially written for Dominic Desautels; Miklós Rózsa’s spectacular violin duet; and Ana Sokolović’s stirring Serbian Tango!
