"In sweet music is such art": Liszt's "Orpheus"

Of Liszt’s thirteen symphonic poems, the fourth, Orpheus, is the most ravishingly romantic and lyrical. This sensuous orchestral effusion is surrounded on our concert by two rousing works from the world of opera: the overture to Verdi’s Un giorno di regno (one of only two comedies to come from Verdi’s pen), and the famous Bacchanale from Saint-Saëns’ Samson and Delilah. The concert opens with the overture to the opera Il trionfo della fedeltà by Maria Antonia Walpurgis (1724-1780), a brilliant composer whose music straddles the Baroque and Classical eras, and continues with the U.S. premiere of the Sinfonietta by Lithuanian composer Kristina Vasiliauskaitė, a composition suffused with striking colors and effervescent themes. The concert will also feature a unique Halloween presentation… don’t miss out on the surprise!

Our culture is in a period of paying great attention to the ideas of diversity, equity and inclusion and your programming is a great example of growing the repertoire and moving the needle in a more equitable direction.

Getting to hear music from little-known composers was a treat. I really enjoyed the rhythms of some of the pieces. A well chosen program!

- Delighted concertgoer

I always leave the performances enlightened by new music I have never heard. It is a friendly, laid back environment and a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
