Romantic Riches: music by Mendelssohn and Brahms -- Sounds of Stow Spring Concert
Join the Sounds of Stow Chorus & Orchestra for their 46th season Spring concert on April 13, 2025, at 2pm. The concert will be held at the convenient and state-of-the-art venue, the Littleton High School at 56 King Street in Littleton, MA (just off I-495).
Under the direction of Barbara Jones, the chorus and orchestra will explore “Romantic Riches”, starting with Beethoven's exuberant Piano Concerto #1, performed by the phenomenal Sonya Ovrutsky Fensome, one of our favorite musical guests. Choral music by Mendelssohn (the beautiful opening movement of Psalm 42) and Brahms follows. The “Four Songs for Women’s Chorus, Two Horns and Harp” (Vier Gesange), are the epitome of Romantic expression. Brahm’s great motets - “Schicksalslied” (Song of Fate) and “Nanie” (Elegy) explore the eternal quest for meaning and reassurance in the midst of the uncertainties of the human condition. Line by line texts in English will be shown during the performance, accompanied by appropriate images of 19th century artwork, further illuminating the emotional content of the works.
