Week 3 Faculty Concert

Barry University

Part of SoNA’s mission is to uncover music that has been historically and unjustifiably ignored by the classical music world. For this mainstage season closing concert, SoNA is excited to present a pulse-raising performance of Chickasaw Nation composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate’s Chokfi' (Rabbit) – a musical sketch of the Trickster character in Southeastern Native American folklore, scored for strings and percussion. Solo pianist Angela Cheng then joins SoNA musicians for Manuel de Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain: a steamy, sultry, summery excursion into three different Spanish scenes, each popping with character, romance, and intrigue. Rounding out this eclectic program is Aaron Copland’s Symphony No. 3, often justifiably referred to as "the American symphony." Written at the end of World War II, its soaring melodies and jaunty rhythms pay homage to all the millions of anonymous men and women who contributed to the war effort – the final movement fittingly beginning with another of his most famous works, Fanfare for the Common Man.

Boulder favorite Angela Cheng dazzles with Ravel’s jazzy Piano Concerto in G and Rachmaninoff’s ever-popular Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, the perfect conclusion to a program celebrating a composer that remains inspiring to classical fans the world over. Young Boulder native and 2022 Resound Boulder competition winner, Leigha Amick, premieres a new commission. Our season comes to a passionate close with Tchaikovsky’s emotional Romeo and Juliet.

Dance the night away with pianist Angela Cheng and the SSO. Her show-stopping performance of de Falla’s Nights in the Gardens of Spain will intoxicate you.

Tchaikovsky’s joyful Symphony No. 2 is filled with his favourite folk tunes and bursting with youthful optimism. Clara Schumann wrote her glittering Piano Concerto when she was just 14 years old, and it is brimming with innocence and fun. Mason Bates’ pulsating Mothership was launched a decade ago by the YouTube Symphony Orchestra featuring young musicians from around the world.
