About
Beginning with
Jean-Féry Rebel’s chaotic “big bang” from the Baroque era and ending with
Olivier Messiaen’s multi-colored and haunting music from the Quartet for the
End of Time, written while he was a prisoner of war, this program — curated
by SPCO Principal Oboe Cassie Pilgrim — explores themes of space and time,
creation and destruction as well as Johann Sebastian Bach’s divine concerto for
oboe d’amore.
Our Express Concerts are 60-75 minutes of music without intermission. Learn more at thespco.org/express.
