  • Beethoven FESTIVAL, BERNADETTE PETERS, and BOYZ II MEN
    RENEW BY APRIL 27 to get first access to the BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL, BERNADETTE PETERS, and BOYZ II MEN “Music Director Alain Trudel was on the podium, and the AUDIENCE WAS ON THEIR FEET.” The Blade Dear friends, Our work continues in the 2020-2021 season as we strive to inspire our region to come together though the performing arts. As a symphony orchestra, we aim to create musical moments that leap from time and remain forever in our memories. We aim for moments that move us all to think differently, to laugh, to love, to maybe even cry. We aim for moments that make us lean forward in our seats, hold our breath, and hold hands with the ones we love. These are the magical stories that our musicians and performers work to create. These are the moments that bring people together. It is with this in mind that we title this brochure “live art.” It has intentional dual meaning. As an adjective, we produce live art. Our musicians, dancers, and performers are the art, and it is created right before your eyes by people. It is created in the moment and can never be produced again in the same way. Because of this, live art seizes us—you, the audience—to feel, sense, and hear new things because it’s elusive and passes us by. It reminds us be present. As a verb, we live art. We experience it, and it changes us. Art can pour through us—through our fingers, our breath, and our bodies as we take it in.
