Experience five hours of beautiful music composed for dramatic performances, including stage plays, opera, and ballet. We begin with Jean-Baptiste Lully, an Italian-born French composer described by Bill as “the most ‘dancingest’ composer who ever lived.” Next, enjoy dance music from Stravinsky, Schubert, and even Beethoven! On Wednesday’s program, Bill will introduce his children’s favorite dance music, featuring Bartok’s Miraculous Mandarin Suite and The Wooden Prince. This week will conclude with Tchaikovsky’s Sleeping Beauty and a charming suite of dances from Manuel de Falla’s Three-Cornered Hat.
