From nocturnes to lullabies to Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, music and the night have long been linked. But what exactly makes music sound like nighttime? Join Parlando as conductor Ian Niederhoffer explores the music of the night. The program includes Gabriel Fauré’s serene Nocturne from Shylock, Toru Takemitsu’s eerie Toward the Sea II, featuring flautist Yoobin Son and harpist Parker Ramsay, music from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s dreamy Flute and Harp Concerto, and Bartok’s legendary Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta.
