Elgar’s Cello Concerto is undoubtedly one of the most impassioned and emotionally expressive pieces of music ever written, perfect for setting the tone for a romantic Valentine’s Day week. Brought to life by Music Director finalist Nadège Foofat, each note weaves its way into your soul, captivating and moving you to places that defy description. And when played by the equally dazzling and expressive soloist Claire Bryant, checking your own emotions will be no small feat. And while Elgar’s lush piece is the capstone, we begin with Jennifer Higdon’s soaringly tender and contemplative blue cathedral, which will set your soul to singing. The program concludes with Schumann’s illustrative and idyllic Symphony No. 3.
