The magical qualities of light formed the inspiration for this program by the Chamber Music Society of Central Virginia for strings, winds, and harp. Haydn’s famous “Sunrise” quartet and Ravel’s impressionist “Introduction and Allegro” pair with Gilad Cohen’s “Firefly Elegy” – a musical portrait of the life of a lightning bug – and a premiere by Richmond’s own Zachary Wadsworth.
