PC Morning Recital

San Francisco Conservatory of Music

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.

The 75th anniversary season comes to an overpowering conclusion with one of the most spectacular and moving acts in all of opera, the finale of Wagner’s Die Walküre. You’ll immediately recognize the iconic Ride of the Valkyries which opens the act. The eight Valkyries are the products of the god Wotan’s affair with the earth’s wisdom goddess Erda. Their job is to carry slain heroes to the afterlife in Valhalla on their flying horses. At the beginning of the act, Wotan’s favorite daughter Brünnhilde is missing. She finally appears, but not with a fallen warrior. Instead, it’s Sieglinde, whom Wotan had fathered with a wolf along with her twin brother Siegmund. The twins committed incest back in Act One, and now Sieglinde is pregnant with the future hero Siegfried. Wotan’s wife Fricka, goddess of marriage, didn’t approve of the situation, and pressured Wotan to arrange for Siegmund to die in Act Two. Brünnhilde tried to intervene to save Siegmund, enraging Wotan. To punish her defiance, Wotan strips Brünnhilde of her godhood and plans to put her into a magical sleep to be available to the first man who finds her. Horrified by this prospect, Brünnhilde convinces Wotan to surround her by fire so that only a brave hero can awaken her.

It has developed into a Lanaudière tradition: the summer reunion of two of Quebec’s most acclaimed musicians, to whom we owe some of the finest highlights of our Festival in recent years. This time around, they concentrate on not just one, but two outrageously demanding piano concertos by Franz Liszt, performed back-to-back by Marc-André Hamelin who revels in their challenges with uncanny ease. To complement these two flagships of pianistic virtuosity, the concert also offers the profound introspection and yearning Romanticism of Johannes Brahms.

Immerse yourself in a night of classical music that bridges the gap between visual art and symphonic sound with the York Symphony Orchestra's "Liszt & Rachmaninoff: From Canvas to Concert."

The evening's program is a tribute to composers who have masterfully transformed the essence of paintings into symphonic poems.

Franz Liszt's "Hunnenschlacht" (Battle of the Huns) echoes the ferocity and victory depicted in the corresponding painting, while Camille Saint-Saëns’s "Danse macabre" vividly brings to life skeletons dancing over their graves, with the xylophone mimicking the sound of clattering bones. Adding to the evening's allure, the York Symphony Orchestra is proud to present the world premiere of William Popp’s "The Galleries," promising a fresh auditory experience.

Under the baton of the esteemed conductor Lawrence Golan, known for his compelling performances both in the United States and internationally, the orchestra will bring these masterpieces to life.

In 1889, at the age of 25, Richard Strauss established himself as the king of the symphonic poem. With "Death and Transfiguration," he sets to music the final hour of an artist, weaving memories, suffering, hope, and peace. Benjamin Grosvenor, described as a "resounding meteorite" in the piano world, presents the enchanting virtuosity of Liszt, whose lyrical and narrative writing is rich with beauty, in collaboration with the OPRL. The famous "Preludes" (1854), inspired by Lamartine's "Méditations poétiques," belong to the genre of symphonic poems, invented by Liszt himself (along with César Franck), and will be performed with full power by Slovenian conductor Marko Letonja.

Imagine a map of the world, turned upside down. When such a world is your point of reference, the terms ‘obscure’ and ‘well-known’ do not necessarily apply. Much in the same way, Florian Noack (1990, Belgium) discovered the world of repertoire for piano. Even as a teen, composers like Alkan, Medtner, Lyapunov were studied next to Chopin and Beethoven, thanks to the highly inspirational book Piano Music by Guy Sacre.
