Mythology has captured our imagination throughout the course of time.  These stories attempt to explain the natural world and human experiences, exploring timeless questions and serving as a compass to each generation. This program will give insight into the inspiration myths have provided composers over time. Experiencing this concert can be an extension for further study of these rich cultural stories and the gods, goddesses, and mythical creatures found within them.
