Aquinas Hall, Mount Saint Mary College, Newburgh, NY

This title is a line from a famous Australian poem and encapsulates the through-thread of this program. Starting with a world-premiere by an Italian-German composer who sojourned in Newburgh last year, the first work of our new season is dedicated to our very own GNSO. Following this is the very tender Siegfried Idyll by Wagner, written for his wife’s birthday, Smetana’s Vltava, his magisterial ode to the Charles River in his beloved homeland, and finally, Elgar’s portraits of his closest friends and family in the Enigma Variations.

Maiello: Shelter – World Premiere
Wagner: Siegfried Idyll
