The Philharmonia is thrilled to once again collaborate with the Kalamazoo Choral Arts Ensemble (formerly Bach Festival Chorus) and to perform in Kalamazoo’s most storied and acoustically ideal concert venue, Chenery Auditorium. In this performance, we will pursue two works with very different approaches to similar subject matter: Prokofiev’s thrilling film score about a medieval Prince of Novgorod who led his troops to fend off foreign invaders; and Ralph Vaughan Williams’s reflective and poignant plea for pacifism.
