Across the Sea

Brace yourself for adventure as we explore the New World’s ties to the old. We set sail from Ancient Rome with Beethoven’s brooding Coriolan — a general destroyed by his own pride — before arriving in New Bedford, Massachusetts, heart of America’s whaling industry, with Stephen Paulus’ Sea Portraits. We close with Brahms, who poured the wreckage of his broken heart into one of the stormiest works in the repertoire.
