Moraine Valley Orchestra
Free, no tickets required.
While not all the composers on our Spring Concert are from the 21st century, the MVO aligns its Spring concert repertoire with Moraine Valley’s One-Book One-College “Disability Visibility: First-person stories from the 21st Century”. The MVO concert will include music by composers who suffered from blindness, deafness, malformities, depression and schizophrenia: Beethoven, Stevie Wonder, and “The Pinball Wizard” all faced adversity. Through the centuries, these musicians have been put on a pedestal or just as easily, tossed aside while dealing with their afflictions. Alyssa Arrigo, Moraine piano faculty, will perform Robert Schumann’s florid and flowing “Piano Phantasie in A minor” with the orchestra under the direction of Maryann Flock.
