Love and Longing

Love and longing are often very much intertwined. Loving someone and longing for someone are similar but there is a sense of yearning to the latter. Sometimes this longing is a result of unrequited love or because of distance. The pieces on this concert look at both of these emotions. One can cry for joy but also cry out of longing for someone, of missing someone. Music can soothe the heart but also speak from the heart.
