Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning&nbsp;Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical&nbsp;is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin,&nbsp;Matilda&nbsp;has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher&nbsp;Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins&nbsp;to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish&nbsp;those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!Production Dates

Christ Episcopal Church

We will take you on a grand late Romantic tour from Pejačević's Piano Quartet in D minor, Op. 25, with its intense angst contrasted by deeply expressive song-like melodies to Suk's Piano Quartet in A minor, Op.1, his first serious chamber music effort, composed when he was just 17, full of dramatic intensity and exuberant vitality, and finally Brahms' Piano Quartet No. 2 in A major, Op. 26, often considered Brahms' homage to Schubert, filled with broad, serene melodies, unexpected harmonic shifts, and masterful counterpoint, and, in the last movement, Hungarian folk rhythms creating a lively, joyful, dance-like atmosphere, leading to an exhilarating conclusion!
We have a group of remarkable musicians to deliver this musical feast--Wan -Chi Su, piano; Meira Silverstein, violin, Renate Falkner, viola, and Ismar Gomes, cellist.&nbsp;
Tickets are available at the door, but you can purchase ahead of time by visiting sundaysatthree.org
