On March 4, 2024, at 7:30 p.m., the Burlington Performing Arts Centre’s Community Studio Theatre will host a free performance of Metamorphosis.
The Metamorphosis concert is a fascinating exploration of how music is composed and developed.
Conceived by Maestro Charles Cozens, conductor and artistic director of the Burlington New Millenium Orchestra, this is a rare opportunity to hear him as a pianist with his trio consisting of bassist Alberto Munarriz and percussionist Richard Moore.
In addition, there will be two guest artists, oboist Colin Maier and vocalist Beverly Gail Ritchie.
This performance is made possible through a grant from the Burlington Arts and Culture Fund.
