But There Is This explores our journey through life and our quest for meaning, even when it remains elusive. In works by Corigliano, Mustonen, Yoshimatsu, and Shostakovich, fragments of themes and ideas emerge over time, slowly and imperfectly revealing themselves as part of a larger whole. Each piece takes us on a journey through extreme emotions which are rarely resolved, challenging us to perceive beauty in the small details that make up our lives, even when the whole remains unclear. This program reminds us, in the words of Barabara Ras, that “there is the voice you can still summon at will, like your mother’s/it will always whisper, you can’t have it all, but there is this.”

All ages are welcome at this concert intended for youth and their caregivers.

Thursday, April 24 at 5:00 pm (doors 4:30 PM), approximately 60-minutes.

There is a $3 ticket surcharge on the day of the performance. Free for youth under 5.
