Tickets are now on sale for the May 1 concert, featuring a piece by Chicago composer Stacy Garrop and music by three American composers: Bernard Herrmann, Peter Schickele and Aaron Copland. Early Bird tickets are only $20 through April 1. Get yours today!

Stacy Gar­rop — Lit­tle Bits
Peter Schick­ele — Quar­tet for clar­inet, vio­lin, cello, and piano
Bernard Her­rmann — Sou­venirs de Voy­age
Aaron Cop­land — Sex­tet 

Works by liv­ing com­posers are impor­tant to us, as well as com­po­si­tions by Amer­i­can com­posers. This spring, we will bring to you “Lit­tle Bits,” a piece writ­ten in 2000 by Chicago com­poser Stacy Gar­rop, who is an asso­ciate pro­fes­sor of com­po­si­tion at the Chicago Col­lege of Per­form­ing Arts at Roo­sevelt University. Garrop will join us at the event and participate in a post-concert Q&A with the Artists. 

We will also present three other Amer­i­can com­posers: Bernard Her­rmann, most famous for his film music, includ­ing the theme for Psy­cho; Peter Schick­ele, best-known as his comedic alter-ego P.D.Q. Bach, who does par­o­dies of the great com­posers; and Aaron Cop­land, one of the most quin­tes­sen­tially Amer­i­can com­posers of all. These pieces will also feature guest violinist Kozue Funakoshi and violist Wei-Ting Kuo. 

Attendees are also invited to enjoy refreshments and mingle with our Artists at a post-concert reception.
