About:
North American composers are featured in this colourful and vividly themed program. We welcome fast-rising star Augustin Hadelich in his WSO debut along with Larry Rachleff, a world-renowned conducting teacher.
Opening the program is rousing music from Canadian composer John Estacio’s opera, Filumena, the Bootlegger’s Tarantella, followed by Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto which is a landmark American Romantic work ripe with virtuosity for the soloist. In Leonard Bernstein’s On the Town, we go to razzmatazz New York City, scored as only Bernstein could.
Written for Martha Graham’s dance company, Aaron Copland’s Appalachian Spring is the story of love and marriage: poignant and quiet, spiritual and joyful with its famous Shaker theme Simple Gifts a part of American vernacular.
“Mr. Hadelich stands out amid gifted young violinists for his prodigious technique, gorgeous tone and his ability to deliver well-known works with a distinctive interpretive flair.” – New York Times
