Principal Guest Conductor Edo de Waart leads this program filled with sounds that perfectly complement the beauty of December. Bach’s Concerto for Violin and Oboe, adapted from a piece originally written for two harpsichords lost to the ages, was beautifully recreated to match Bach’s voice and intention. Its energetic melodies and harmonious duets have delighted audiences for centuries.

Bach’s Concerto for Violin and Oboe

Joan and Irwin Jacobs Music Center

Peltokoski, Thayer and Mozart

Southwestern College

A concert in honor and celebration of the playfulness and depth of the “classical music” of the late 18th century. In the first half, concertmaster Jeff Thayer joins music director Rafael Payare and the strings of the orchestra for a violin concerto by the Black French composer, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges (a contemporary of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart), preceded by Alfred Schnittke's witty reimagining of Mozart's Music for a Pantomime in the style of Haydn. In the second half, the wind instruments of the orchestra give us Mozart's glorious Gran Partita. This was the music, in the film Amadeus, which made Salieri exclaim: "It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God."
