Celebrate the vernal equinox with two works steeped in mythological lore: Arnold Bax’s Spring Fire and Charles Martin Loeffler’s A Pagan Poem. A maid of Thessaly, abandoned by her lover, revives his ardor through the use of sorcery. Nymphs stretch their languid arms, as half-human shapes skip through forest glades, and lovers are awakened from ecstatic dreams by a rout of satyrs and maenads. It feels so “rite,” it can’t be wrong, this Sunday at 10 pm.
