2 pm concert – Sound and Fury
Delving into the velvet sound world of low brass, Principal Trombone Patrick Pfister and Sandström’s Wahlberg Variations centers a program featuring the best of multiple centuries of music. Haydn’s delightful “Il Distratto” not only opens the program, but it also inspired British composer phenom Anna Clyne’s Sound and Fury, along with another theatrical extreme: Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Ginastera’s Variaciones Concertantes is a true showcase for the entire orchestra, each variation a highlight of a different musician or section.
JOSEPH HAYDN: Symphony No. 60, “Il Distratto”
JAN SANDSTRÖM: Wahlberg Variations
ANNA CLYNE: Sound and Fury
ALBERTO GINASTERA: Variaciones Concertantes
