About

Canadian-Romanian conductor Andrei Feher leads a program that balances contemporary voice with classical charm. Kelly-Marie Murphy’s On Rethinking Heroism in the 21st Century , premiered in 2020, was composed in response to Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony, further exploring ideas of humanism and heroism. Filling the majestic Christ Church Cathedral with light-hearted lyricism, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 8 is among his most playful works, reflecting a moment of ease in the composer’s life. Poulenc’s Sinfonietta brings the evening to a sparkling close with its lush harmonies and dancing rhythms. Please note: Doors open at 7:00 pm. Venue: Christ Church Cathedral.
