Beginnings, Middles, and Ends II: Remembering
Beginnings, Middles, and Ends explores the moments that make up our lives in song. Works that bookend careers, meditate on mortality, and follow the course of a lifetime to show us what it means to live a life.
Two monumental British song cycles explore the fleeting wonder of youth. Finzi’s A Young Man’s Exhortation is filled with the tenderness of first love, while Vaughan Williams’ Songs of Travel looks back at youth with bittersweet wisdom. Pre-concert lecture at 7:00PM by Erik Gray (Columbia University).
