“The Red Violin”

Comprised of works by Corigliano, Caplet, Crumb, and Saint-Saëns, this program will delve deep into the world of fantasy and story-telling. We will begin with Corigliano’s “Red Violin” Caprices – taken from the soundtrack of Hollywood’s famed film “The Red Violin.” We will then travel through the American and French folk and fantasy worlds of Crumb’s Solo Cello Sonata and Saint-Saëns’ “Fantaisie,” and finally delve into Edgar Allen Poe’s dark and terrifying literary world of the “Mask of the Red Death.”
