The Winchester Orchestra presents Smetana's Moldau, Grier's Flute Concerto "Renascence", and Beethoven's 6th Symphony "Pastoral".
Spring has sprung in the Bay Area, and the Winchester Orchestra brings you two favorite musical descriptions of nature.
Bedrich Smetana's The Moldau traces the path of a river in Smetana's homeland from mountain springs through to Prague, along the way encountering hunters, a village wedding, and more.
Ludwig van Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony is a rare programmatic work by this titan of music whose 250th birthday we are celebrating this year. It reflects Beethoven's deep love of nature, and takes us on a musical journey that, in his own words, were a "Recollection of Country Life".
In between, we will hear the stunning Renascence (Concertino for Flute and Orchestra) by American composer Lita Grier, and featuring soloist Victoria Hauk.
Come celebrate Spring and Beethoven's 250th birthday with the Winchester Orchestra!
Scott Seaton, Music Director and Conductor
Jevon Gegg-Mitchel, Assistant Conductor
Flute: Victoria Hauk
Watch for upcoming concerts: May 17, 2020
