Lunchtime Concerts
Concord Sonata 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. Broadly considered one of Ives' masterworks, the Concord Sonata is the composer's homage to transcendental thinkers. Movements are dedicated to Emerson and Thoreau, as well as the Alcotts and Nathaniel Hawthorne. Completed by 1920, the work was unquestionably ahead of its time; it is written without bar lines and the harmonic vocabulary is quite modern. Like much of Ives' music, it quotes freely from sources ranging from Beethoven's fifth symphony to Stephen Foster's songs. 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.)
