Through the Year with Horn and Harp

An evocative concert of music, art, and poetry

First performed January 13, 2012
This mixed program of some of our favorite pieces, arranged into four groups to musically depict the four seasons, often works well for us as an outreach concert. It is c. 45 minutes in length. We also offer projected artwork and photographs alongside the musical selections to enhance the sensual impact of each season.
