In a concert that navigates the landscapes of heroism, dreams, and the revolutionary, Dutch maestro Otto Tausk guides the orchestra through Wagenaar’s portrayal of the poetic and tragic Cyrano de Bergerac, followed by Edge of a Dream, Tim Fain’s reflective piece on hope amid adversity, composed during the recent global crisis. The evening culminates with Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 3, “Eroica,” a work that redefined the symphony and expressed the composer’s disillusionment and ultimate triumph over personal and political turmoil. This program promises an exploration of the enduring human spirit through the lens of music.

The Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra invites you to an evening of discovery and delight with two exciting world premieres by composer-in-residence, Michael Shapiro. Shapiro’s Zoomies! is a playful and energetic new work inspired by the joyful, unpredictable bursts of energy we love in our canine companions.  The spotlight turns to celebrated violinist Tim Fain for the world premiere of Shapiro’s Violin Concerto: At the Shore of the Sea. Lyrical and expansive, this evocative work reflects the meeting point between land and water expressed through Fain’s breathtaking virtuosity. Anchoring the program is Felix Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 11, a brilliant and passionate work composed when Mendelssohn was just 15. The program begins with Mendelssohn’s The Hebrides Overture, a richly atmospheric tone poem inspired by the rugged beauty of Scotland’s coastline.
