POWER AND GRACE

Mariusz Smolij, Music Director


Timothy Fain, violin

Smetana Three Dances from

The Bartered Bride

Dvorák Romance for Violin & Orchestra

Ravel Tzigane for Violin & Orchestra

Mahler Symphony No. 1, Titan

Dvorák’s music spirals in the aftermath

of a broken heart, and Mahler’s nostalgic

exuberance and gentle melodies are simply

supple. Smetana’s Three Dances are about

young love and a family’s disapproval.

Ravel’s impressionistic music is fearsomely

technical with an accelerated dance.

Triumphant Tchaikovsky


TRIUMPHANT TCHAIKOVSKY

Emil de Cou, Music Director candidate & conductorAndrew Armstrong, piano

Barber Essay for Orchestra No. 2Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 4Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 5

Tchaikovsky’s Fifth has a prayer-like melody that whips into a vigorous climax. Barber’s Essay and Beethoven’s Concerto add orchestral conversations in searing unison, bubbling transformations, glittering scale passages and a thunderous conclusion. An incredible collection of drama for the symphony.

Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition, arr. by Ravel

An Idaho Symphony, by Idaho composer Jim Cockey, has its world premiere to celebrate

the distinct seasons of Idaho. This piece will recreate nature’s beauty through sound and

projected images. Ravel’s work musically leads us through a promenade of a visual art

gallery, while Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite is introduced by piano and harp in a lullaby.

Dr. Paul Collins commissioned An Idaho Symphony in celebration of Jim’s 20th year.
