 Program
 Benedikt Brydern (World Premiere) New Work by Winner of New Visions/New Vistas Commissioning
Project Made possible by a grant from The James Irvine
Foundation

 Richard
Strauss - Don Quixote (1897)
 Pyotr
Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Piano Concerto No. 1 (1875) with Adam
Neiman, piano



The virtuosity of our orchestra
will really be showcased in this concert! Strauss Don Quixote,
based on the humorous novel by Cervantes, dramatically depicts various
characters and scenes from the novel using different instruments in the
orchestra. The spotlight will be on principal cellist Dan Reiter, whose cello
solo represents the character Don Quixote.
Tchaikovskys Piano
Concerto No. 1 one of the most popular piano concertos of all time and
an early favorite of Michael Morgans will feature rising young
star Adam Neiman, hailed as one of the premiere pianists of his
generation.
Our second New Visions/New Vistas work premieres tonight.
Award-winning composer and performer Benedikt Brydern, who has many film scores
to his credit, will offer a vibrant, jazz-infused piece that reflects his
long-standing interest in old time jazz and swing.
(Suitable for children 10 and over.) |

Michael Morgan about this concert
 


 "Adam Neiman plays with authority and understanding, not
just an extra helping of technique... he was clearly born to be a pianist." ~
