FreePre-Season Full Orchestra Concert: Folk Fantasias
When: Saturday, September 21st at 7:30 P.M.
Where: New World Center, 500 17th Street
About: Get a good look at all the 2019-20 Fellows in their debut orchestra concert of the season! With boundless energy and sentiment, Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien is what you might expect when you mix Russian Romanticism with Italian charm. Jimmy López embraces Peruvian folk music and shared heritage with conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya in his five-part fantasy Perú Negro. The grand waltz takes center stage in Maurice Ravel’s reflection on post-WWI Europe and Richard Strauss’ heroic suite from his comic opera. 23 fresh faces converge with seasoned veterans to bring you the “new” New World Symphony.
