ABOUT THE EVENT
Composer Richard E. Brown and Navona Records present The Gift of the Magi, a chamber opera in one act that tells the beloved story — first published by O. Henry in 1905 — of a young married couple who, despite being very poor, sacrifice their most cherished possessions to demonstrate their love for one another. This chamber opera adds even greater breadth to the composer’s output, which has also included works for concert band and orchestra, instrumental solos and ensembles, church music, piano solos, and scores for ballet, opera, and musical theater. The virtuosic performances heard on The Gift of the Magi lend a moving emotional dimension to this heartbreaking yet ultimately uplifting story of love and sacrifice.
