ESSENTIAL EARTH

An Earth Day celebration of musical tribute to our life-sustaining planet. Beethoven’s beloved “Pastoral” Symphony is paired with two other Earth-themed works. La Crèation du Monde (The creation of the World) is an intimate chamber ballet and features Ballet Quad Cities. Argentinian composer and musician Richard Scofano performs La Tierra Sin Mal (The World Without Evil), his own symphonic poem for orchestra and bandoneón, a traditional instrument (similar to the accordion) used in Argentinian tango. We invite you to imagine the world at its creation, and dream of a world free of evil.
