Exploring Inner Landscapes is a solo piano program by pianist Alexandra Balog, inviting audiences to journey through the inner realm of music with works by five composers with distinct styles: Kodály, Chopin, Mozart, Schubert and Noah Max. This carefully curated and intimate program explores the themes of introspection, self-discovery, and depth that can only be reached and expressed through music.

This intimately crafted program explores the themes of introspection, self-discovery, and depth that can only be reached and expressed through music. The program includes the world premiere of British-Austrian composer Noah Max’s “Piano Sonata, Op. 54, No. 2, ‘The Curve.’”

The Westminster Choir sings an eclectic program covering 400 years of choral music, beginning with an exploration of the Baroque motet from a simple, expressive early-17th-century work of Heinrich Schütz to Bach's mid-18th-century mesmerizing counterpoint.. Cellist Frankie Carr and keyboardist Eric Plutz join the choir in 21st-century laments and celebrations: the plaintive Sanctus of Sebastian Currier, Reena Esmail's Hindustani-influenced setting of 14th-century poetry, David Lang's meditative perspectives on Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs. A bit of Westminster history is also touched on in works of Gian Carlo Menotti, founder of the Spoleto Festival, and alumna Rosephanye Powell. Donald Nally conducts.
