Hear them Roar 🦖

SUNDAY January 8, 2023

“Tones sound, and roar and storm about me until I have set them down in notes.”

Ludwig Van Beethoven

Mount Vernon Music’s “Nature in Music” concert this week brings the sounds of the outdoors to life with compositions that adapt harmonies of the natural world to violin, viola, cello, clarinet, and piano. The performance is a unique celebration of our world. Read more in this issue.

We also feature Dinosaurs Live! at the Heard Museum of Natural History in McKinney as an encounter with the past. We’re not sure if Beethoven imagined the roar or foot stomping of the ancient beasts when writing his compositions, but his Fifth Symphony certainly came close.
