SUMMARY:Pablo's Guitar
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]This program will take listeners on a tour of melodies hailing from around the world. Bacewicz’s six-minute Overture for Orchestra was composed during the German occupation of Poland and offers an exciting\, perpetually shifting palette of colors. The short duration of this Overture does not keep Bacewicz from demonstrating a litany of orchestral sounds and moods in her composition\, overlooked until recently. Meanwhile\, Spaniard Joaquin Rodrigo’s animated Concierto de Aranjuez features elaborate instrumentation for classical guitar. The piece took its first recorded form as a Braille manuscript carried into Spain by Rodrigo at the outbreak of the Second World War. Fauré’s Pelléas et Mélisande Suite offers a contemplative reprieve in a romantic and tragic orchestral retelling of elicit lovers and their star-crossed fate\, and Alexander Borodin brings the program’s close with his colorful Symphony No. 2\, which evokes the exuberance of Russian folk dances. This concert brings the songs of people across time and space to listeners for an experience full of diverse musical landscapes.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram\nAnna Sułkowska-Migoń\, conductor\nPablo Sáinz Villegas\, guitar \nBACEWICZ  Overture for Orchestra \nRODRIGO  Concierto de Aranjuez\nI.

SUMMARY:Mendelssohn & Dvořák
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nThe concert opens with Franco-Brazilian composer Elodie Bouny’s striking homage to the Amazon rainforest and the destruction it has faced in the form of Ignis II—meaning “fire.” The piece serves as a contemporary complement to Mendelssohn’s exquisite and romantic Violin Concerto\, which features a turning-point cadenza as a center jewel. Award-winning soloist Amaryn Olmeda brings Mendelssohn’s virtuosic and vivacious melodies to the stage. Countering the sparkling energy of the concerto\, but no less joyful\, Dvořák’s pastoral Symphony No. 8 vividly depicts Czech songs and dances through rich\, pleasing melodies and harmonies. The symphony reflects the composer’s musings on the implications of nature\, as well as his own experience enjoying its benefits. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram\nRoberto Minczuk\, conductor\nAmaryn Olmeda\, violin \nELODIE BOUNY   Ignis II\nI.

SUMMARY:Mendelssohn & Dvořák
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nThe concert opens with Franco-Brazilian composer Elodie Bouny’s striking homage to the Amazon rainforest and the destruction it has faced in the form of Ignis II—meaning “fire.” The piece serves as a contemporary complement to Mendelssohn’s exquisite and romantic Violin Concerto\, which features a turning-point cadenza as a center jewel. Award-winning soloist Amaryn Olmeda brings Mendelssohn’s virtuosic and vivacious melodies to the stage. Countering the sparkling energy of the concerto\, but no less joyful\, Dvořák’s pastoral Symphony No. 8 vividly depicts Czech songs and dances through rich\, pleasing melodies and harmonies. The symphony reflects the composer’s musings on the implications of nature\, as well as his own experience enjoying its benefits. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram\nRoberto Minczuk\, conductor\nAmaryn Olmeda\, violin \nELODIE BOUNY   Ignis II\nI.
