“The Power of Music” season begins with the sense of belonging featuring the orchestra’s “Welcome Back” Concert!

Highlights include:

George Gershwin’s Overture to Girl Crazy. This overture showcases Gershwin’s unparalleled ability to blend classical sophistication with the irresistible rhythms of jazz and the melodies of Broadway and Tin Pan Alley. From its famous songs, such as “Embraceable You” and “I Got Rhythm”, to its infectious rhythms, Gershwin’s music brings a touch of classic Broadway flair and playful sophistication to the program.

Ginastera’s Four Dances from Estancia capture the vibrant essence of Argentine folk traditions and ranch life through Ginastera’s modernist lens. Similar to Copland’s “Rodeo” in its story and structure, each dance is a colorful, rhythmic celebration, evoking the spirit of the Argentinian “estancias” (ranches) with its dynamic rhythms and lively orchestrations.

Dvo?ák's Symphony No. 8. Known for its warm, folk-inspired themes and dance-like rhythms, reflecting Dvo?ák's deep affection for his native Czech homeland, the symphony’s uplifting and pastoral qualities make it a favorite for both listeners and musicians alike.

Don’t miss this unforgettable concert that beautifully brings together folk melodies and dances from around the world, brought to you by the generous support of Annie and Alex Scott. Immerse yourself in a night of musical brilliance and celebrate the joy of live orchestral performance.
