An afternoon charting the sea's many moods — its beauty, danger, and mystery. Britten's Four Sea Interludes capture the ocean's restless power, while Ethel Smyth's Overture to The Wreckers and the iconic theme from Jaws summon its darker, more perilous currents. Mendelssohn's Hebrides overture conjures wind and spray off a rugged coastline, before Handel's Water Music closes the program on a note of buoyant, courtly grace.
