Of Love and Other Demons
October 19, 2:00pm
Of Love and Other Demons is a concert program that explores the many faces of love. Inspired by Gabriel García Márquez’s novel of the same title, this program challenges the audience to reconsider love not only as a romantic ideal, but as an elemental force that shapes human experience in both sublime and tragic ways. Some of the pieces include: Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, Francis McBeth’s Of Sailors and Whales, Richard Wagner’s Elsa’s Procession to the Cathedral. These works create a narrative that reflects love not as a singular emotion, but as a complex, often paradoxical force—a demon, perhaps, that can elevate or consume.
