“No Western composer demonstrated a more Shakespearean range of emotion than Mozart — from the comedy of self-deception to tragic despair, from pleasure in worldly comforts to heroic defiance of convention, from supernatural terror to spiritual rhapsody. His most ravishing music looks inside the soul as deeply as art can.” – Music critic Lloyd Schwartz on National Public Radio, January 25, 2006.

TRIO

GLORIA (SPAIGHT/ VIVALDI)
A beautiful dance interpretation of Vivaldi’s Gloria, last seen in Richmond in 1992. Spaight’s sensitive choreography invokes the passion, joy, and spirituality of this glorious music through a series of intricate ensembles, intimate duets, and exquisite solos.
JOURNEY (AIELLO/ ARNOLD)
Journey pays tribute to the strength, vitality, and physical virtuosity of the male dancer. Choreographed in 1979, Aiello’s ballet abstractly suggests travel by land, sea, and sky.
SILENCE (PATTERSON/ PÄRT)
Silence, inspired by the music by Arvo Pärt, evokes a sense of space and timelessness. “…it is about finding peace within the stillness, the silence when we find ourselves alone in a quiet moment, in the dark of night, or on a walk with miles in front of us to conquer.” (Gina Patterson)

“The idea of RVA Live! is something I’ve been contemplating for some time and I am excited that the right partnership has presented itself.” says The Broadberry’s Lucas Fritz. “With the help and guidance from the good people at the Richmond Symphony, it is finally happening. It is truly an honor to help curate such a special night of music with the talented artists involved. I had the pleasure of working on Matthew E. White and Natalie Prass’ debut albums here in town. All the other bands I hold near and dear to my heart as they’ve really helped make The Broadberry and The Camel the wonderful venues that they have become over the past eight years. Bringing together all the different genres on one stage, especially Carpenter Theatre with the Richmond Symphony, is going to be truly amazing.”
