Program Title: From Frost to Flowing Waters

“From Frost to Flowing Waters” traces the transformative journey of water, capturing its graceful dance through diverse states and climates. The show begins with the stark, unyielding beauty of a frozen glacial expanse. Then, a delicate flurry of snow begins to fall gracefully through the air, eventually coming to rest in a serene, snow-covered stillness. Finally, we witness the gradual thaw as ice transforms into rivulets and streams, converging into a powerful, flowing river. I. TUNDRA - Original Music (Andrew Reid), Winter (Vivaldi) II. SNOWFALL - The Snow Is Dancing (Debussy), Footsteps In The Snow (Debussy) III. RAGING RAPIDS - The Seasons (Glazunov), The Moldau (Smetana), La Mer (Debussy) Solos by James Meissner and Emily Vazquez Aispuro.
