Evolution: Classical - Transformations

Evolution: Classical - Transformations
Renowned faculty members from the Evolution: Classical program bring together music, commentary, and projections in a captivating presentation format that explores transformation.
Commentator Rob Kapilow explains how Harold Arlen’s Somewhere Over the Rainbow transformed Dorothy in her journey from Kansas to Oz, and with that sets the stage for performances by mezzo-soprano Patricia O’Callaghan, percussionist Anders Åstrand, violinist Matt Albert, pianists Pedja Muzijevic, flutist Brandon Patrick George, visual media artist Sigi Torinus, and the Gryphon Trio.
