Our Family Concert is always a favorite – this time we’re performing Peter and the Wolf, narrated by the always-charismatic Omari Tau.  It’s a great way to introduce kids (and grown-ups!) to the instruments of the orchestra.  We’ll also hear from this year’s Young Artists Grand Prize winner, Sumanth Ganga, performing Creston’s Sonata for Alto Saxophone and we’ll perform Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances No. 8, Op. 46.

Placer High School Theater

Dvořák is the favorite composer of many classical music fans and orchestras alike. His music plays well – and is pleasant to listen to. It is often lighthearted, comfortable, and full of life. The Czech national classic is represented twice in our concert – with two concert overtures, one of which poetically captures rural moods and views, the other sparklingly immerses itself in a turbulent carnival festivities. Brahms' profound A minor concerto, the so-called "Double Concerto," features two soloists – a work tailor-made for our brotherly soloist duo of Claudio and Oscar Bohórquez. The two also plays a role in Schubert's Symphony in B minor. It consists of two movements, not four like a conventional symphony, which is why it is nicknamed the Unfinished . Nevertheless, it is a complete masterpiece. It moves forward with double the force.

Under the baton of Seattle Symphony Associate Conductor Sunny Xia, brilliant Dutch musician Simone Lamsma makes her Benaroya Hall debut performing one of the all-time violin classics, Tchaikovsky’s glorious Violin Concerto. Tchaikovsky was inspired to write this thrilling Romantic composition during a stay on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland. He worked with his former student and object of infatuation Iosif Kotek, to whom he wished to dedicate the piece, though he changed his mind for fear of gossip. Xia also conducts Dvořák’s folk melody-filled Eighth Symphony, which evokes the pastoral beauty of the composer’s native Bohemia with tempestuous passion and grace.

San Francisco Conservatory of Music

Recent seasons have offered great experiences with great cellists, and this season is no exception. There is a rehearsal with Maximilian Hornung, who in 2018 enchanted the audience when he was a soloist in Bruch's Kol Nidrei. Now he is the soloist in the cello concerto that Elgar composed in the aftermath of the First World War. At that time, his music was already slowly falling out of fashion among concert audiences. Unlike Elgar's earlier violin concerto, which is lyrical and passionate, the cello concerto is mostly pensive and elegiac. Many years later, the concerto was reborn when the 20-year-old cellist Jacqueline du Pré practically made it her signature piece in 1965.

Music transcends today's actual boundaries, echoes the natural, musical boundaries of yesteryear, and above all shows how much music is the connecting factor between different cultural regions. Casco Phil takes you on a journey that began hundreds of years ago and introduces you to folk music from Hungary, stirring Klezmer from Romania, festive French music at the Court of Louis XIV, and much more. You will hear beautiful music from all corners of Europe as we take you on a complete 'tour musicale', from Western Europe to Central Europe and Northern Europe, and then via Eastern Europe to Southern Europe. The program takes a journey through Europe, taking as its starting point the current members of the European Union. At the same time we also take a journey in time. Music from the 16th century is discussed (by the Mechelen Philippus De Monte), but also baroque music, music from classicism and romanticism, a significant portion of folk music arranged for orchestra, and of course also a touch of accessible modern music. In this way, cultural regions are musically highlighted through the different epochs that have molded Europe into what it is today.

Augustin Hadelich, one of the greatest violinists of all time, returns to perform Tchaikovsky’s unparalleled Violin Concerto. The deeply patriotic Dvořák wished to use his music to recognize the struggle and oppression of his fellow Czechs; he wrote of this urgent Seventh Symphony, “What is in my mind is Love, God, and my Fatherland." Kevin Puts’ Two Mountain Scenes, composed “with the impressive backdrop of the Rocky Mountains in mind” and beginning with “the sonic illusion of a single trumpet reverberating across the valley,” opens this wondrous program.

This special event is set to take place on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 2:00 pm, hosted at the St. Paul Lutheran Church, located at 715 S 3rd St in Clinton, right at the foot of the Highway 30 bridge.

We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate through the blizzard conditions and bitter cold. Our priority is to keep everyone cozy, warm, and safe during this blustery weekend.

"The Music of Friendships" celebrates the intimate and collaborative nature of chamber music, a genre often described as the music of friendships.

This tradition of gathering with friends to perform and listen to music is a testament to the deep connections formed through the art of music-making.

The concert will feature a selection of pieces that exemplify the spirit of friendship and collaboration, including the "Piano Trio in G Minor, Op. 26" by Antonin Dvořák, performed by Nadia Wirchnianski (piano), Asa Church (violin), and Ann Balderson (violoncello). The program also includes works by Josquin Des Prez, Thomas Ford, Hubert Waelrant, Thomas Morley, Pierre Passereau, and a collection of Miniatures for Woodwind Quintet by William Grant Still, showcasing the talents of Crystal Duffee (flute), Tamara Byram Mahl (oboe), Elizabeth Matera (clarinet), Thomas Wood (bassoon), and Bianca Sierra (horn).

This event is not just a concert but a celebration of the enduring bonds formed through music. Whether you're a lifelong fan of chamber music or curious to experience it for the first time, "The Music of Friendships" promises an afternoon of exquisite music that speaks to the heart of what it means to create and enjoy music together.

Don't miss this opportunity to warm up your January with beautiful music and the company of friends. We look forward to sharing this special day with you.

Dvorak's String Quintet No. 3 is a masterful composition that is filled with lyrical melodies, rich harmonic texture, and rhythmic vitality. The quintet is composed for two violins, two violas, and cello, and it presents a delightful interplay between instruments.  

Dvořák + Schubert

Toledo Museum of Art

He’s joined by a pianist long admired by Hallé audiences, Nelson Goerner, whom BBC Music Magazine dubbed ‘An artist of a very high order’. He plays the concerto with which Rachmaninov, as composer and virtuoso pianist, swept the world. American composer Missy Mazzoli wrote her animated Sinfonia (for Orbiting Spheres) in ‘the shape of a solar system’, elaborating that ‘it’s a piece that churns and rolls, that inches close to the listener, only to leap away at breakneck speed’. To conclude, Dvořák’s genial, sunny Eighth Symphony, bursting with the beguiling folk tunes of Bohemia.

Dvorák’s Eighth Symphony

St Andrew's and Blackfriars' Hall

Whenever an important statesperson is buried in the USA, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings is played. It is one of the best-known works of classical music – and will be presented here together with the equally popular Clair de Lune. To conclude the program, a four-movement masterpiece: Dvořák's legendary "American" String Quartet.

Alma Quartet

Maison Messmer Baden-Baden

To the composers of the Romantic generation, nature was a storybook, where forests, mountains and rivers all echoed the joys and sorrows of the human heart. Antonín Dvořák’s love of the Czech countryside sings and dances through his overture In Nature’s Realm. Brahms’s bittersweet Double Concerto and Schumann’s stormy Fourth Symphony are like huge, elemental landscapes in their own right, and with a conductor as inspiring as Jonathon Heyward and two of the LPO’s own Principal players as soloists, there’s no better way to explore them.
