SUMMARY:Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Symphony Orchestra\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArmstrong Concert Hall \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmanuele Andrizzi\, Artistic Director & Conductor \n\n\n\n\nThe Clock\n\n\n\nJoin the Symphony Orchestra for an evening of orchestral masterworks that span the elegance of the Classical era\, the drama of early Romanticism and the virtuosic brilliance of the twentieth century. The program opens with Carl Maria von Weber’s exhilarating Overture to Der Freischütz\, a cornerstone of German Romanticism whose vivid orchestration and dramatic storytelling helped shape the future of opera. \n\n\n\nThe orchestra is then joined by saxophone soloist Coleman Wright ’28 (D.M.A. in Performance) for Henri Tomasi’s Concerto for Alto Saxophone and Orchestra\, a colorful and expressive showcase that blends lyricism\, virtuosity and French sophistication. One of the most beloved works in the saxophone repertoire\, the concerto highlights the instrument’s remarkable range of character and emotion. \n\n\n\nThe evening concludes with Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No. 101 in D Major\, known as “The Clock.” Named for the steady ticking rhythm heard in its celebrated second movement\, this enduring masterpiece combines wit\, elegance and inventive orchestral writing. Together\, these works offer a captivating journey through some of classical music’s most imaginative and enduring musical voices. \n\n\n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nCarl Maria von WeberOverture to Der Freischütz (The Marksman)\, op. 77Henri TomasiConcerto pour saxophone alto et orchestreJoseph HaydnSymphony No. 101 in D Major\, Hob.
