In April, time itself becomes a bridge with mezzo-soprano Abigail Nims, a world premiere by Massimiliano Messieri, Respighi’s epic Pines of Rome and Vaughan Williams’ transcendent Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. Scored for two orchestras—one representing the present day and the other evoking the music of the Renaissance—the piece creates a dialogue across centuries. The result is a tapestry of breathtaking beauty and spiritual depth.
