SoundWaves with The Florida Orchestra
Program Notes: Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony
A concert that’s a little bit city and a little bit country. In his Symphony No. 6, Beethoven is in awe of the power of nature, from flowing streams and peasant dances (fueled by alcohol) to thundering storms that ease into a prayerlike sense of gratitude. Jessie Montgomery’s tone poem Records from a Vanishing Citysoaks up the music that surrounded her growing up in New York, including Latin jazz, alt rock, classical and Caribbean dance music. Mozart’s sunny Violin Concerto No. 3 features TFO Associate Concertmaster Nancy Chang in music full of effervescence and elegance. These program notes include music excerpts.
Masterworks 7 of the 22/23 Season
Performances: Jan. 21 & 22, 2023
