Lunchtime Concerts
12 Poems of Emily Dickinson Miller's popular midday series returns! Discover great chamber works in an intimate, casual setting. This season the concerts spotlight four of the founding fathers of modern American music, with works for voice, strings, and piano. Copland's 12 Poems of Emily Dickinson represent a marriage of great American poetry and music. The songs including settings of poems familiar (such as "The Chariot," Dickinson's account of a ride with Death) and less well-known. This cycle is a fitting opener for Miller's series of Copland concerts; it was premiered on the stage of Miller Theatre (then called McMillin Academic Theater) on May 18, 1950, with Copland himself at the piano! Lunchtime Concerts are supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. REMAINING LUNCHTIME CONCERTS: (FREE - No tickets are required.)
