Desc: Classical Quest: Directed by Melissa Godoy. With Starling Chamber Orchestra, Yang Liu, Timothy O'Neill, Kurt Sassmannshaus. Classical Quest evokes classical music as time travel: from the imagination of a composer, to the baton of the conductor, to the musicians, to sound waves cruising through the guts of the instruments, to the ears of the audience today. The Starling Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble of young string virtuosos directed by Kurt Sassmannshaus, conveys the connection between written music and the challenges and joys of those who pursue it today.
