See the link below for tickets. In the beginning, the Garden of Eden was heaven on Earth, and nothing embodies this better than the dazzling, propulsive energy of Bach’s all-string masterpiece, Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. Then comes the fall from grace. Adam and Eve succumb to the Serpent’s Kiss and Cakewalk out of Paradise to the jazzy accents of William Bolcom’s ragtime rhythms. No longer constrained by ancient ideals of perfection, an adrenalin-laced improvisation from the Macedonian-born clarinetist Ismail Lumanovski leads us to the virtuosic and primal-with-a-Romanian-folk-accent Octet for Strings by George Enescu, a lush and romantic ending to our first romp in the Garden.
