Event
Hot Winter Concert
Hot and Cool: The Maestros programmed OYOs second concert with works spanning three centuries, from Austria, Germany, Russia, England, and Mexico. Three pieces show off the full sizzling symphonic orchestra, and three air the chiseled skills of the OYO string, brass and wind ensembles. Pleasures abound for the whole family!
The Austrian Mozart wrote many wonderful operas, and this overture from the magic opera is a delight. The German Brahms wrote Festive and Commemorative Music at a happy time, and played by our wonderful brass, its beauty will bring joy to our audience. The English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams tapped old church sources for this mystical Fantasia played by the legendary OYO strings. Londoner Gordon Jacob tapped secular English song for his delightful piece for winds and brass. Russian Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, a master orchestrator, wrote his winter opera on the themes of love and longing and the rollicking Dance of the Tumblers will delight! The contemporary Mexican Arturo Mrquez continues the dance with his take on a Cuban danzn that begins with a slow, sensuous theme and builds to an irresistibly sizzling rhythmic climax.
