Stories and Tales

Joshua Weilerstein, Conductor

Friday, December 2, 2022 - 8pm

Our return to Jordan Hall features an amazing program of musical storytelling and canvasses ranging from Caroline Shaw's Alice in Wonderland inspired Entr'Acte to Aaron Copland's score to the 1944 ballet Appalachian Spring. Join us for a night of whimsy in one the best concert halls in the world with works by Aaron Copland, Caroline Shaw, Derrick Skye, and Maurice Ravel.

“Stories and Tales" brings together four pieces attached by their ties to fantastic worlds and places. Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte was inspired by Alice in Wonderland, Derrick Skye’s Sunlight Spread draws on elements on son huasteco folk music from Mexico, Maurice Ravel’s Mother Goose is made of five movements, each based on a separate children’s tale, and Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring tells the story of a young couple reminiscing about their lives together while preparing their home in the wilderness for their future.
