Join us January 21–25 for five concerts — collectively called The Night Suite — that celebrate the life and creativity of composer Stuart Saunders Smith, who was professor of music at UMBC for many years. His more than 300 compositions, both solo and ensemble, explore a diverse world of sound and experimentation.
Explore breathtaking musical landscapes as pianist Liana Pailodze Harron presents an extraordinary program that celebrates both America’s 250th birthday and the diverse musical traditions close to her heart. The centerpiece of the evening will be Aaron Copland’s beloved Appalachian Spring, performed in its complete ballet version in Herron’s own arrangement for solo piano.
