Alias Spring Concert
The Spring Concert continues Alias’ innovative programming with a series of very unusual vocal works followed by pieces by two composers from the Prokofiev family. Alias will present two works by venerated composer Sergei Prokofiev, followed by a string quartet by his up-and-coming grandson, Gabriel Prokofiev. Also on the program are rarely heard works for soprano, harp and horn; and soprano, lute and cello. Proceeds from this concert will benefit Charles Davis Foundation. Tickets are $12, or $5 for students with ID, and are available in advance at the Alias Music website.
