What’s on the Program
Jennifer Higdon blue cathedral
“This piece associates memories with music. The ethereal beauty in the orchestration brings personal emotions to the forefront.” –Kelly Mozeik, oboe
Gershwin An American in Paris
“Although this was written about Paris, its hectic and bustling nature also reminds me of my years living in New York City.” –Holly Nelson, violin
Schumann Symphony No. 2
“I wasn’t surprised to learn that Schumann wrote this while he was struggling with sickness. It begins with a foreboding fanfare from the distance, with melancholy throughout the piece until the 4th movement, where he phrases his longing for life and recovery.” –Szabolcs Koczur, trumpet
