Folk and Fable

Where folklore, nature, and storytelling become music.

Music has always carried stories. From Florence Price's reimagining of African American spiritual traditions to Haydn's playful musical depiction of a croaking frog and Schubert's beloved Rosamunde, inspired by the tale of a shepherdess whose true identity is revealed to be the Princess of Crete, this program celebrates the enduring connection between music, folklore, and imagination.
