From 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., from the Horta Hall at the Centre for Fine Arts to Ancienne Belgique, the public and passers-by can enjoy novel musical experiences, old melodies, surprising arrangements, unexpected venues, and, above all, marvel at how music brings us together.

BWW Review: Leonard Is CARMELITES' Soft Center in Met's Brilliant Production
by Richard Sasanow
- May 5, 2019
You'd never know that the Met's production of Francis Poulenc's DIALOGUES DES CARMELITES is over 40 years old, except for a few giveaways. There are no dancing nuns, no nudity, no screeching train whistle as the women go to their deaths (a la SWEENEY TODD). This fictionalized version of the story of Carmelite nuns who were martyred during the French Revolution, sent to the guillotine, is certainly the most simple and eloquent work on the Met's stage these days.

Now the SDSO's Conductor Laureate, he has returned to appreciative warm applause in each of the two seasons since he retired as permanent conductor. For his second appearance this year he chose an all-French program: the Overture to Benvenuto Cellini by Hector Berlioz, Francis Poulenc's Concerto for Organ, Timpani and Strings, and the third symphony of Camille Saint-Saens, his 'Organ Symphony.'
