CutTime Productions sponsors the first classical music stage of the Millvale Music Festival to accompany with dramatic music the WWII-era murals by the Croatian painter Maxo Vanka.This FREE two-day event continues at 11am with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra Octet performing famous CutTime arrangements such as "Fur Elise," "Ride of the Valkyries" and Claude Bolling's jazz flute suite ftg Jennifer Steele, plus dances from Igor Stravinsky's "The Soldier's Tale" ftg Dennis O'Boyle. Mr. CutTime Rick Robinson himself will host this family show that resets the context for classical music like his OMG Classical series.
Next at 12:30pm the NAT28 contemporary music ensemble performs strange, dramatic music by Pittsburgh Alex Marthaler called "The Willed and the Wild" and something indescribable.
Finally at 1:45, Resonance Works brings an octet of singers with vocal works by celebrated Millvale-native composer Nancy Galbraith, Gioachino Rossini, and Isabella Colbran. Colbran was a Spanish opera singer and composer who was Rossini's first wife, and who premiered the title role in his opera "La donna del lago," which Resonance Works will present in June.
So do not miss the magic of classical in a dramatic setting. We need support for this program directly via the Society to Preserve the Millvale Murals of Maxo Vanka (SPMMMV) at https://tinyurl.com/donateMFO .
Parking is very limited, but shuttle buses are available. The event itself is free and family-friendly. These performances are made possible by the support of generous patrons. Beer and soft drinks are available for purchase and consumption outside.
