Springtime Serenade
"Springtime Serenade" explores the wealth of musical riches from four continents and across four centuries in an evening of appealing and inventive music, balancing toe-tapping rhythms and the spirit of exuberance with introspective and peaceful works. From North and South America come the infectious rhythms of Joplin's ragtime and Darktown Strutter's Ball, Piazzolla's tangos, Barroso's Aquarela do Brasil, and Manuel Ponce's 'Estrellita'. From Asia flow the haunting melodies of solo flutes. And from across Europe are music by Mozart and Beethoven, Grieg's piercingly beautiful Two Elegiac Melodies, Mendelssohn's quick-silver Scherzo from A Midsummer Night's Dream, Debussy's gorgeous Rêverie and "Beau Soir", Bizet's richly depicted orchestral duo from the opera The Pearlfishers -- "sung" here as a duo for trombone and euphonium -- plus spirituals, music from film and stage and more, written by inspired composers who in some instances were also instrumental virtuosos. Throughout this musical journey the orchestra presents a splendid and appealing musical frame from which the colorful and diverse solo turns shine forth.
Maricopa Music Circle is our city's premier chamber orchestra, bringing together local musicians who primarily are music professionals at a high level. Founded in 2010 originally as a small ensemble, MMC is unique because it performs standard orchestral music and popular favorites entirely without a conductor. Every MMC performer from piccolo to tuba serves as coach and supervisor several times each season, and the orchestra produces a rich, colorful and true symphonic sound. MMC performs throughout Maricopa from City Hall to Ultrastar Ak-Chin and in nearby cities. Its programs are always colorful and varied, including everything from orchestral works to instrumental and vocal solos, seasonal music, popular tunes, jazz, and great standards from the big-band era to the present -- all in arrangements specially tailored for the orchestra.
