Tchaikovsky’s delight for his original ballet score for The Sleeping Beauty, and his desire to adapt it into an orchestral suite, languished due to the monumental task of editing down the volume of enchanting numbers.

Traversing rich and varied musical landscapes, this concert laments the dramatic ecological loss of bees and the associated acoustic loss (referencing its musical predecessor Rimsky-Korsakov’s Flight of the Bumblebee), presents a tapestry of a thousand flowers in the constantly shimmering gestures of Martinaityte’s sonic garden, and delivers harp virtuosity in our Music Director’s harp concerto, specially written for Erica Goodman.
