Westminster Conservatory Noontime Series
Thursday, November 17, 12:15PM
Westminster Conservatory at Nassau will continue at 12:15PM Thursday, November 17 with composer-pianist Carol Comune performing Carousel Classics, a musical memoir comprising original compositions. The recital will take place in the Niles Chapel. It is open to the public free of charge.
The composer invites us to compare the continuous motion of a carousel, in which beginnings and endings merge, to the cycles of life. In Ms. Comune’s words, Carousel Classics is a journey through nature, healing, and passion. Her compositions on November 17 will include Variations on O God, Our Help in Ages Past, Mr. Cardinale, Romance, excerpts from the suite Once Upon a Time, and an arrangement of Elmer Bernstein’s theme from the movie To Kill a Mockingbird.
After a break in December Westminster Conservatory at Nassau recitals will resume on January 19, 2017 with a performance by the Volanti Flute Quartet.
