Festival Orchestra Concert
August 16 2008 @ 8:00PM Walk Festival Hall
Closing Orchestra Concert: FROM GOLDEN AGE to JAZZ CRAZE
Our Music Director returns to the podium to close our 47th summer season. Young American pianist Adam Golka joins the Festival Orchestra to perform Ravel’s piano concerto in G, a piece that is a showcase for virtuosic talent and is in some parts strongly influenced by jazz harmonies and rhythms of the 1920’s. The impressionistic sounds of Debussy and sweeping romanticism of Rachmaninoff book-end the program – what a beautiful way to close the 2008 summer season!
Join us on stage following Saturday's performance for a reception to bid the summer season farewell.
Friday's performance sponsored by Jayne & Al Hilde, Jr. Saturday's performance and celebration sponsored by Joyce & John Caddell and The Caddell Foundation. Adam Golka sponsored by Hank Becks.
