The Spirits Summoned

Magic is altogether mystifying and unknown - its forces powerful and illuminating - but sometimes, there are consequences. Explore the dangerous aspects of magic in this dark and electrifying show, where spirits are summoned, original classical music are woven together, and chaos ensues! Dukas's "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" conjures up and introduces these mystical spirits in a whirlwind of sight and sound. Hope and peace are sought after in a sentimental respite, guided by the heart-wrenching finale of Ravel's "Mother Goose Suite" and bracketed by the eerie stillness of the night from the third movement of Prokofiev's "Scythian Suite". The frenzied spirits return in a fiery dance from the second movement of the Prokofiev suite, culminating in a bombastic finale that re-spins Dukas's iconic work back into the fray!
