Toward the Sea | Wednesday, June 16th, 7:30 PM

STREAMING on YouTube and www.CapeCodChamberOrchestra.org. Premiere June 16th at 7:30 PM, video available until July 12.

Join us virtually from the Cultural Center of Cape Cod as we explore art from the Cape and music of Takemitsu, Vaughan Williams, Rautavaara & Debussy. Featuring artists Jackie Reeves, Richard Neal, and Lauren Wolk.

Toru Takemitsu’s Toward the Sea (1981) was commissioned by Green Peace for the Save the Whales campaign, a piece of music that is an homage to the sea which “creates all things” according to the composer. Flautist Zach Sheets and harpist Charles Overton are featured on this program. The CCCO will also perform Vaughan Williams tone poem The Death of Tintagiles, the Andantino from the Debussy string quartet, and Rautavaara’s thrilling “Fiddlers”.
