Courtroom Concert: “The Silver Fox” by Libby Larsen

Hosted by composer Abbie Betinis, our popular Courtroom Concerts take place at noon most Thursdays in the Landmark Center in downtown Saint Paul. This series features accomplished musicians and composers from the Twin Cities and surrounding area, as well as occasional musical newcomers to the area. These one-hour concerts are free and open to the public.

About the Artists:

Libby Larsen, born December 24, 1950 in Wilmington, Delaware, is one of America’s most performed living composers.
She has created a catalogue of over 500 works spanning virtually every genre from intimate vocal and chamber music to massive orchestral works and over 15 operas. Grammy award-winning and widely recorded, including over 50 CDs of her work, she is constantly sought after for commissions and premieres by major artists, ensembles, and orchestras around the world, and has established a permanent place for her works in the concert repertory.

The Silver Fox: Family Opera in One Act is based on the bayou legend of a young girl who transforms into a silver fox to use her magical powers! Larsen’s music weaves Cajun folk tunes into a lyrical, lilting fable.
