AH 104

This music appreciation class will give background about two upcoming concerts in the Pacific Symphony Orchestra Casual Concert Series

Thursday, March 1: Zukerman Plays Mozart (new program) Note. This is a change from the program printed in the Spring catalog.

Living legend Pinchas Zukerman performs Mozart's delightful Violin Concerto No. 3. Then, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition takes listeners on a musical stroll through an art gallery that holds colorful paintings, each with its own fascinating story.

ARTISTS:
Carl St.Clair, conductor Pinchas Zukerman, violin

PROGRAM:
MOZART: Violin Concerto No. 3
MUSSORGSKY/RAVEL: Pictures at an Exhibition

Presenter: Marek Zebrowski is a pianist, composer, lecturer, Program Director for the Polish Music Center at USC and artistic director of the Paderewski Festival in Paso Robles.

CLASS: Wednesday, June 13: Lauridsen - O Magnum Mysterium, Ravel -Tzigane, Strauss - A Hero's Life (Ein Heldenleben) NOTE: This is a program change from the printed catalog.

Presenter: TBA (Change from the printed catalog.)

CONCERT: Sunday, June 17; 3-4:30 PM (NOTE: The Pacific Symphony has changed their program on June 17.)

NEW CONCERT PROGRAM: Music Director Carl St.Clair and Pacific Symphony take a closer look at Richard Strauss' monumental tone poem, A hero’s life (Ein Heldenleben), exploring how the work was both a nod to the past and a herald of the future. This autobiographical work features Concertmaster-Designate Dennis Kim. The concert opens with Lauridsen's ethereal “O Magnum Mysterium” and Ravel's rhapsodic “Tzigane”, a virtuoso violin piece in the style of a Hungarian rhapsody, played by Anne Akiko Meyers, one of today’s premier violinists and a performer of “vigorous mastery, unflinching technical skills and stylish elegance” (Los Angeles Times). Enjoy image magnification on our big screens during the concert for a closer look at the artists!
