A VOYAGE OF THE SOUL: Music of Beethoven and Vaughan Williams
Graphic Credit: Ian Kibria
Experience the sheer scale of true choral majesty at The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center with a performance featuring two masterpieces that redefined the limits of the art form. The journey begins with Beethoven’s innovative Choral Fantasy, a visionary fusion of solo piano, orchestra, and chorus that exclaims the unifying, transcendent power of the arts and community. This boundary-breaking work paved the way for Ralph Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony—a dramatic tale of human exploration and the infinite ocean. Featuring musicians from the University of Maryland School of Music and the Washington National Opera Orchestra, this concert will carry you away on an unforgettable voyage of the soul.
