Toward the Sea

Join us for a pre-concert talk at 2:15 with conductor Matt Scinto and composer Cody Forrest.

Season Two concludes with a special commemorative work for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s journey by composer-in-residence Cody Forrest.

EJ Mills Brennan, Mashpee Wampanoag musician, painter, and artisan joins us to share her original music “Breath of Prayers.”

Toru Takemitsu’s Toward the Sea (1981) for alto flute, harp, and strings was commissioned by Green Peace for the “Save the Whales” campaign, and features a movement dedicated to Cape Cod. We look forward to featuring Zach Sheets, Principal Flute of the Cape Symphony and Charles Overton, harp. The CCCO concludes this stormy journey with Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor.
Join us as we take a contemporary look at the Pilgrim’s journey to America.
