Ear Project Concerts
Did you ever listen to a piece of classical music and thought that you might enjoy it more if you knew more about it? Did you wonder what makes a piece of music a remarkable piece of music? If you answered yes, then join us for two exciting free events during our 2006 season, as the Festival presents our Ear Project concerts. In these informal and family-friendly concerts, the music is first discussed, broken down, and explained. Then when your ears have had a tune-up, the music is performed. Both concerts will last approximately one hour.Ear Project Concert 1 - Vivaldi's Four Seasons
