    The evening’s presentation will be “Sounds of the Sea.” In this concert, animal songs and representations of sea life are woven together in a program conceived and presented in collaboration with the New England Aquarium. The Music of Maurice Ravel, Stella Sung, Claude Debussy and Bernard Hermann will transport us to the ocean.
