Celebrating the excitement of a new school year, we dedicate a week to children’s songs, young composers and performers. We will hear compositions from Felix Mendelssohn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as well as travel down the Mississippi with Huckleberry Finn and composer Ferde Grofé. Additionally, we will feature Muzio Clementi’s Sonatina No. 1 in C Major, Op. 36, Edward Elgar’s “Dream Children” and “The Wand of Youth” Suite No. 1, Op. 1.
