Theater Thursdays: Peabody Preparatory Strings
February 16th, 2012 by The Professor
Art, Music, and Food. If those three things interest you, then this will not be an event to miss! The Walters Art Museum, located on our very own Charles Street, is world renown for its amazing collection of art. The collection presents a variety of world art from pre-dynastic Egypt to 20th-century Europe. However, art is not the only attraction this museum has to offer. On Saturday, February 18th, the Walters Art Museum will present the Peabody Preparatory Strings from 11:00am-12:00pm.
A potpourri of preparatory string ensembles performs treasured lyrical works and dances, including arrangements of the Allegretto from Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony; Massenet’s “Meditation” from Thaïs; and “Czardas,” Vitorrio Monti’s famous Hungarian Dance. Along with the Strings, the Peabody Cello Choir, Violin Choir, Kreisler Violin Group and Pre-Conservatory Violin Program will also be performing!
