Pre-Concert VIP Event I:
Spring Eternal: An Exploration of Redemption in the Music of Ernest Bloch
Friday, January 30th at 6 pm
Good Shepherd Episcopal Church of Tequesta, Sanctuary
VIP Ticket: $75
Artistic and Executive Director, Liana Branscome, presents a deeply personal, multidisciplinary pre-concert experience. In her words:
“The Baal Shem by Ernest Bloch has been a cornerstone of my spiritual experience for much of my career. Written in three movements, the work takes us on a journey of the rawness of human sorrow to the inevitability of redemption and the deep joy that comes after you have been forgiven. I will be pairing this great work with a discussion on the human condition as found in this music, a reading of my original poetry, and an expose of one of the most haunting tales every told: Sylvester and the Magic Pebble.”
