How does music capture the power of reinvention? Conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya explores transformation through Ravel’s vibrant orchestration of his Spanish dance-inspired piano work and Strauss’s dramatic depiction of a soul’s ascent from earthly bounds. Experience Jake Berran’s Cooper Prize-winning world premiere as it weaves in and out of tonality, followed by Hindemith’s modernist "Metamorphosis" of 19th-century themes by Carl Maria von Weber.
This concert is dedicated to Anne Duncan with deepest gratitude for her inspiring generosity, steadfast friendship, and unwavering support of our students, faculty, and the vibrant musical community of the Shepherd School of Music.
