PROGRAM
Â
Â
Inspired by the evening serenades amidst pandemic isolation, Seven O’Clock Shout reminds us of the sacrifices of heroes.Â
Â
Celebrated pianist Jon Nakamatsu is featured in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 5. Though it is a concerto, its scope is symphonic; a novel innovation for the time and remains the best known and most frequently performed of
Beethoven’s five piano concertos.Â
Â
Arriaga’s opera tells the story of plucky Spanish nobles captured as slaves in Africa who find their way to freedom.Â
Â
18-year-old Shostakovich burst onto the international music scene with his first Symphony, written to fulfill his graduation requirements from the Leningrad Conservatory. We can recognize the
unmistakable personal voice that would become his signature.
We are so fortunate to have world-class, professional musicians in our midst. I hope I will see you at one of these performances in November!
Â
Enjoy!
