Italian music holds an important place in the history and development of European classical music, and Italian composers played significant roles in the development of opera, the symphony, the concerto and the sonata. Akron Symphony violinists Amy Glick and Sarah Husak, accompanied by pianist Brent Schloneger will present works by composers ranging from Vivaldi to film composers. The program will focus on the characteristics that have made Italian music so popular such as beautiful melodies, dramatic elements, diversity and innovation.
This concert is sponsored by The Friends of the Hudson Library. For more information on the event, email AskUs@hudson.lib.oh.us or visit hudsonlibrary.org.
