Acadia School of Music’s Concert & Lecture Series - Denton Hall
(1:00 pm)
Cindy Thong and Mary Castello present a program of music written for piano four hands by Maurice Ravel, Martha Hill Duncan, Amy Beach, and Franz Schubert. Inspired by childhood, nature, folk traditions and play, these works explore the imagination in its many forms – from the whimsical and fantastical to the deeply personal.
