Hindemith wrote his Trauermusik in a day and a half in response to the death of King George V of England. Harold in Italy is one of Berlioz's most ingenious works, a grand symphony inspired by Byron's poetry with a heroic role for solo viola. Described as “thoroughly modern, highly intelligent music” by The Washington Times after its 2007 premiere, Sacred Heart: Explosion by Jefferson Friedman is based on the work of visionary artist Henry Darger of Chicago (1892-1972). The piece receives its Chicago premiere in these performances.
