it's the best birthday present ever! Richard Wagner's wife, Cosima, woke up on her birthday morning in 1870 to the sound of this music wafting up the stairs. The composer had written his "Idyll" especially for the occasion, and hired an orchestra to come and play it for her in their villa. Discovery Ensemble re-creates the moment in this performance in our Fraser Performance Studio.
