Restless Seas

Restless Seas No element shapes us like water, and no concert moves quite like this one. Anna Clyne’s Restless Oceans opens with a wave: the musicians of CCS don’t just play this music; they stomp and sing it, an orchestra becoming a force of nature in real time. Benjamin Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes follow. Dawn light on the water, Sunday bells, moonlit calm, and a storm that shakes the hall. Then the current turns homeward: Duke Ellington’s The River, a symphonic suite that flows from a single spring to the wide sea, swinging every mile of the way. From the composer of Take the A Train to the roar of the open ocean, this is a voyage for every listener. Come get swept up.
