2. Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto and Symphony No. 39

In this not-to-be-missed program, the FWSO’s own Principal Clarinetist Stas Chernyshev steps to the front of the stage for Mozart’s sublime clarinet concerto, a work of utter elegance and refinement written for a fellow freemason. An all-Mozart affair, the performance also includes the madcap Overture to The Marriage of Figaro and the Symphony No. 39, which opens with one of the grandest fanfares in the canon before launching into a grand, courtly affair that has captivated the ear for more than 200 years.

4. Night of Strings at the Garden: Strings in Motion

Nielsen, Golijov, and Dvořák infused their compositions with folk and dance traditions from their homelands. Nielsen’s Little Suite for Strings combines Scandinavian Romanticism with waltz-like rhythms. Argentine composer Golijov’s Last Round honors the tango, with two quartets exchanging phrases as if caught in a passionate dance. FWSO winds join the strings for Dvořák’s Serenade in D minor, which echoes the fiery rhythms of the Bohemian furiant.

Visit Romania, Norway, and Panama as guest conductor Ron Spigelman leads the FWSO strings in an evening inspired by folk traditions, dance, and music of the Romantic era. Bartók’s Rumanian Folk Dances and Still’s Danzas de Panamá are rooted in cultural traditions —Romanian fiddle tunes and Panamanian Afro-Latin melodies. Grieg’s Two Norwegian Airs evokes the serenity of Norway’s countryside, including the movement titled “Cow Keeper’s Tune and Peasant Dance.” Schreker’s Intermezzo offers a lush, orchestral contrast with its rich, Romantic string textures.
