Join us on the first day of spring for an evening of virtuosity with renowned musicians, bassoonist Nadina Mackie and pianist Alexander Panizza. In a time of war, take a break from the news. Revel in Beethoven’s Magic Flute variations, the sparkling Op 19 Variations Concertante by Mendelssohn,  Quebec composer Mathieu Lussier’s dramatic work, Le Dernier Chant d’ Ophélie and journey to Saturn’s moons in Mimas by Baltimore composer, Katherine Needleman, and finish your sonic adventure in Russia with beloved masterpieces by Scriabin and Prokofiev. Celebrate springtime and renewal — and see the world’s only two state-of-the-art blue Bell bassoons!
