Music Director and Conductor
Join us for the next concert of the season
"Love"
Sunday February 5
2:00pm at Town Hall
Caroline Shaw - Entr'acte
Joseph Pollard White - Three Places in America
W.A. Mozart - Symphony No. 41 "Jupiter"
Caroline Shaw's 'Entr'acte' for strings is lush and mysterious and endlessly creative. Shaw was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 2013 for her piece 'Partita for 8 Voices'.
The concert will also feature the premiere of 'Three Places in America' by Music Director Joseph Pollard White. He describes it as "a set of 'postcards' that try to express some of the unique feelings evoked at three locations across America. All three movements are 'nocturnes' in a sense: night music. Each one is a vignette or a postcard or a watercolor: trying to get to sleep in Reno; maybe missing my flight in New York; driving all night to get to Pittsburgh. While there is some 'tone painting' (snores, trucks, airplanes), mostly it's trying to evoke the special mood of a special place at a special time."
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his 41st and last symphony in 1788, just three years before his death at age 35. Early on it was named the Jupiter Symphony, probably by the impresario Johann Salomon, for its majestic scope- from the opening 'thunderbolts' to the intricate and clever finale.
