The New York Philharmonic celebrates Pride month by keeping alive the music of a composer who died of AIDS, Robert Savage. His solo piano work, “AIDS Ward Scherzo,” was written while he was in the hospital.

ACO’s Composer to Composer series features major American composers in conversation with each other about their work and leading a creative life. The intergenerational discussions begin by exploring a single orchestral piece, with one composer interviewing the other.

UD Rep Ensemble by and large stages classics: Shakespeare, Moliere, Bernard Shaw, Tennessee Williams, etc. Plays become classics due to their timeless quality and universal truths; truths that lived, for example, in Shakespeare's time as they do today. The immediacy of live theatre brings these principals to life before our eyes.

UD REP Ensemble continues its excellent work
