The opening night program includes “La Folia,” a sequence of variations by Antonio Vivaldi, operatic excerpts by Verdi, Ponchielli & Bizet, special arrangements of three songs by the Beatles, and two world premiere performances of compositions by James Domine entitled “China Replications,” dedicated to the victims of the Covid19 virus pandemic and world healing, and “Fantasia,” subtitled “Moonshine Sonata” for reasons that become evident upon hearing the piece.
