Mischa Santora, Guest Conductor

This series pairs classical repertoire with contemporary music performed in an interactive, casual and accessible setting. This performance features music wrapped around Greek mythology including Cherubini's Medea: Overture, Berlioz's Dance of the Sylphides from Damnation of Faust, Ravel's Pavane for a Dead Princess.

Every Backstage Pass performance features a piece from a living composer and we are thrilled to have Augusta Read Thomas in attendance at the performance. Her piece Terpsichore's Dream: A Ballet for Chamber Orchestra was written just over two years ago and is inspired by Terpsichore, one of the nine muses of Greek mythology.  Thomas was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters which is considered the highest formal recognition of artistic merit for a composer.
