Masterworks II: Cityscapes Home & Abroad

About this event

Take a musical journey through Paris, Harlem, Vienna, and the Quad Cities. Mozart’s Paris Symphony and Ellington’s Harlem shine alongside Suppé’s lively overture, while Jim Stephenson’s CitySpeaks brings our community to life through orchestra, spoken word, visuals, and the voice of Bix Beiderbecke.
