May Concert: Oberlin Orchestra

Oberlin College

Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony, which pays tribute to the grandeur of the human spirit, closes a program of music shaped by World War II. Martinů’s symphonic poem remembers the Czechs killed during the destruction of their village by the Nazis in 1942. Israeli-American composer Shulamit Ran commemorates a pivotal ocean voyage of German Holocaust refugees in 1947.

In its annual PCMS concert, the “genuinely exciting” (New York Times) Aizuri Quartet presents a program that explores the idea of community in a multi-faceted way. It features works by four female composers, including Indian American composer Reena Esmail, whose raag-influenced Fantasie layers the voices of the string quartet to create a beautiful, swirling world that invites players and audience into the concert experience.

America/Beautiful is a project by pianist and arts advocate Min Kwon, in which she has commissioned a diverse group of more than 70 of today’s leading American composers to each compose a variation on “America the Beautiful.”

Kwon's hope is to paint a sonic picture of her adopted country in all of its sprawling complexity, and ultimately try to find the beauty at the core of the American experiment and its credo of e pluribus unum (out of many, one).

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Shulamit Ran was in residence at Marlboro Music in 2018 and worked extensively on her music with these musicians in Vermont. Alternating between contemplation and ecstasy, Ran’s Moon Songs for soprano, flute, cello, and piano are at the center of this program, which includes Mozart’s Divertimento, a singular work that achieves “something special in the way of art, invention, and good spirits.”

Musicians from Marlboro II

The voices of today’s Jewish composers ring out in a program for a cappella choir conducted by Associate Conductor James K. Bass. Shirim L'yom Tov, a set of celebratory songs by Pulitzer-prize-winning composer Shulamit Ran, offers wisdom and inspiration. The contemporary sounds and thought-provoking music of Lera Auerbach, David Lang, and Sid Robinovitch examine the rich tapestry of the Jewish experience. This concert is about more than music: it’s an exploration of culture and connection.
