Walden’s 12th season offers our trademark palette of the familiar and the eclectic. Music by Bach, Mozart, Faure, Haydn, Boccherini, Britten, Saint-Saens and Schubert shares the stage with works by Gerhard Schedl, Rainer Bischof, Johannes Maria Staud, Julia Scott Carey, Stephen Paulus, Wiiliam Bolcom and Donald Wheelock—some of the very best music of our time.
Our outreach programs are more ambitious than ever. We continue our rewarding relationship with the Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science in Worcester, and are initiating a new one at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Our Chamber Music Institute at Nyack High School in Nyack, NY will be one of our most ambitious educational initiatives to date.
This season we will also be recording a cd of the works of composer Donald Wheelock, following closely on the heels of last season’s recording project of music by Augusta Read Thomas.
Please join us on our musical journey this season!
“The ensemble treated the Schoenberg with riveting intensity as much as with loving care, outlining Bach's legacy clothed in Schoenberg's elegantly neurotic fashion—thrusting counterpoint, taut textures and sheer insistence.
