Musical "U"

 

. . . .

 

The Winston-Salem Symphony and Reynolda House Museum of American Art
present Musical "U"!

 

Musicologist Dr. David Levy is your guide for this musical exploration of orchestras and symphonic music. These lively, interactive, interesting, and informative sessions highlight music to be performed at the Winston-Salem Symphony’s upcoming concerts. You don’t have to be an expert to attend, but you may feel like one afterwards as you find yourself listening to music in a completely different way. Dr. Levy is joined by Music Director Robert Moody and Assistant Conductor Matthew Troy, as well as other guests, throughout the season. Choose one or more sessions or come to all four. We hope to see you there!

"Requiem"

Some of the most compelling orchestral/choral music ever produced are settings of the Roman liturgy of the Requiem Mass. We examine why this is so and look at examples ranging from plainchant, Mozart, and Verdi to Britten and Lloyd Webber (yes, THAT Lloyd Webber!).
