The qualities of night - darkness, mystery, romance - when our ears pick up where our eyes can no longer serve, all have served to make powerful themes for music, art, and poetry. This noon concert, despite the sunlight streaming in from inside, explores night through four diverse works, composed over a period of 200 years.

Beethoven | Sonata in C-Sharp Minor ("Moonlight"), for fortepiano
Caplet | Conte fantastique, for harp and strings
Sierra | Piano Sonata No. 14 (“Moonlight”)
Mancini/Wadsworth | "Moon River," arr. for voice and chamber ensemble
