The CAS 2010 to 2011 season opens with “Nosferatu,” a multimedia event featuring the 1922 classic film combined with the music score of Karel Suchy. Roger Ebert said of the first Dracula film ever made, “Nosferatu . . . doesn’t scare us, but it haunts us.” Suchy’s “Sound Poem” draws on a wide variety of musical styles. This production will include exciting new elements developed by collaborating artists and arts groups.

Come share Holiday Jubilate. You won’t want to miss the Racine premiere of John Rutter’s beautiful Mass of the Children. Written in 2003, it received rave reviews after its inaugural performance. The CAS will be joined by Prairie School student musicians, from 3rd grade through high school, who will add the youthful exuberance that Rutter envisioned. Seasonal Carols of Austria and Poland will further enrich this wonderful holiday offering.
