Maryland-native Andrew Grams returns home to lead a tour-de-force program featuring Dvořák’s pastoral Symphony No. 8. In his eighth symphony, Dvořák invokes folk Bohemian idioms filled with earthy tones and bird-like sounds. Commissioned by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Anna Clyne's five-movement suite Abstractions captures the essence and energy of artwork on exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Franz Liszt, a pivotal figure of 19th-century Romanticism, often took inspiration for his piano works from events in his own life. Many of these compositions are program music—pieces with extra-musical associations. In this lecture-recital, Dr. James Litzelman will give background and historical context for the pieces, as well as show images and videos that correspond to the music. Works to be performed include Funérailles, Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude and the two St. Francis Legends.
The Muses proudly present their Original Works Projects, a memorable night of short plays created and produced by students.
