A rollercoaster of pianistic flourishes, Rachmaninoff’s ravishing rhapsody is given a tour-de-force performance by soloist Simon Trpčeski. Dvořák’s distinctly Bohemian style shines in his brooding, mysterious Seventh Symphony, in which the composer gives voice to personal grief and the struggles of his nation.
Our season concludes in a blaze of orchestral glory with Brahms’ First Symphony, a work of intense passion and soaring lyricism. Plus, Principal Bassoon Carin Miller displays her instrument’s suave tone and puckish agility in Villa-Lobos’s Ciranda das Sete Notas, while Gabriella Smith’s One serves as an urgent appeal to protect our fragile ecosystem.
