Wild Woman and War
October 12 The Bach Festival Society of Winter Park launches a new Visiting Artists Series with French pianist Hélène Grimaud, an international performer and self-described “wild woman” who contends that while music saved her, so, too, did an encounter in Tallahassee with a wolf–dog mix, which awakened an appreciation for wolves and led her to establish the Wolf Conservation Center in South Salem, New York. She has won numerous music awards and is an officer of the French Order of Arts and Literature. 3 p.m. $30-$40. Tiedtke Concert Hall, Rollins College. October 25 and 26 Later in the month, the society presents the first in the season’s Choral Masterworks Series, Haydn’s “Mass in Time of War.” The Bach Festival Choir and Orchestra also perform Mendelssohn’s “War March of the Priests” and Paul Moravec’s “Songs of Love and War.” Soloists include Kevin Deas, Matthew Swope, Joanna Mongiardo and Cherry Duke. Saturday 7:30 p.m., Sunday 3 p.m. $20-$55. Knowles Memorial Chapel, Rollins College, 1000 Holt Avenue, Winter Park. 407-646-2182. bachfestivalflorida.org
