Chopin the Passionate Patriot
He was a proud Polish person and the Polish national dances, the Polonaise and the Mazurka had special meaning to him. “Listen to the Dance.” Program includes some of the buoyant and poignant Mazurkas, three Polonaises, and the poetic G Minor of the seven-year old composer, the brooding C Minor, and the heroic A Flat, one of the most familiar pieces of music ever written.

Chopin the Storyteller
This program will include the four Ballades of Chopin, each an epic tone poem in sound. A Ballade is a narrative musical form – a story is being told, but what is the story and how does a composer tell the story in tones without words? Also on the program will be a charming Novelette of Robert Schumann whose 200th birthday the musical world also celebrates in 2010.
