What’s Interesting About This Concert
Michelle DeYoung has brought her celebrated interpretations of Wagner’s music to concert halls and stages around the world; having first worked with Maestro Richman in 1995, the two artists will reunite in Bangor.
Like Tristan and Isolde, the fates of Romeo and Juliet have been explored for centuries across artistic mediums. Prokofiev’s music is iconic for its energy and depth.
