Alabama Visions: An Evening of Music by composers with Alabama ties

Samford University

In celebration of Carlos Izcaray’s 10 years as Music Director of the ASO, the orchestra will perform an anniversary program featuring works Maestro Izcaray conducted at his opening concert in 2013. La Péri, written in 1911, and was Dukas’ last published work is not as well known as The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, this ballet has been considered to be one of his most mature and skilled pieces. Then, Pianist Conor Hanick, regarded as one of his generation’s most inquisitive interpreters of music, performs the world premiere of Carlos Izcaray’s Piano Concerto. Symphonie fantastique returns to the ASC stage for the first time since 2019! Programmatic in nature, it tells the story of a gifted artist who, in the depths of hopeless and despair because of his unrequited love for a woman, has poisoned himself with opium. Witness the artist’s drug-induced hallucinations, beginning with a ball and a scene in a field and ending with a recognizable “march to the scaffold” and a satanic dream.
