Love Stories of Legend
7:30 pm, Sunday, March 9, 2003
Perhaps the most compelling of human emotions is the experience of
love. These four tragic sagas of mortal passion date from antiquity.
The profound vocal presence of soprano
Helen Huse Ralston
and the internationally acclaimed virtuosity of violinist
Xiang Gao
will render this evening unforgettable.

natures reflected by the planets of our solar system.
