On Friday, May 2nd, the UC Berkeley Philharmonia Orchestra closes its season with two beloved works: Appalachian Spring by Aaron Copland and Symphony No. 3 (Organ) by Camille Saint-Saëns. Co-conducted by Noam Elisha and Wei Cheng, the program moves from Copland's open, luminous Americana--clear lines, spacious harmonies, and dance-like energy--to Saint-Saëns' Symphony No. 3, where the orchestra is joined by the organ for a sonorous, expansive finale. Together, these pieces offer an evening of rich orchestral color, unforgettable melodies, and a thrilling symphonic finish.
