Peer through the looking glass and explore American identity through four distinct voices. Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Hiawatha Suite draws on Longfellow’s American epic tale, while George Gershwin’s Concerto in F, featuring pianist Nicholas Phillips, captures the “young, enthusiastic spirit of American life.” Music of Frederick Delius and Ethel Smyth reflect transatlantic ties to America’s musical culture.
From radiant brass to aching reflection and vibrant dance, this program journeys through shifting emotional landscapes. Dukas’ brilliant “Fanfare” from La Peri and Dvořák’s sunlit Symphony No. 8 frame Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer, performed by mezzo-soprano Christine Amon. Gershwin’s colorful Cuban Overture brings the evening to an exuberant, rhythmic close.
Ring in the holidays with music that captures the warmth and wonder of the season. From the elegance of Bizet’s L'Arlésienne Suite and Tchaikovsky’s “Waltz of the Flowers” to beloved holiday favorites like White Christmas and Sleigh Ride, this festive program invites the whole family to share in the joy and beauty of Christmas.
