      Exploring Music

      Sound the Trumpets

      The trumpet takes center stage this week. Its story stretches back thousands of years and spans many cultures. We’ll listen to the Shofar, a ram’s horn from biblical times, and the ancient trumpets found in Tutankhamun's tomb. And we’ll savor the modern trumpet’s bright sound in music by Bach and Vivaldi, and in the rich and complex symphonic music of Mahler, Ravel, and Stravinsky. Hosted by Peter van de Graaff

      8:00 - 10:00 pm
