Lincoln-Way North Performing Arts Center 19900 S. Harlem Avenue, Frankfort Christopher Zimmerman, Conductor Elgar Introduction and Allegro for String Quartet and String Orchestra, Op. 47 Stravinsky Symphonies of Wind Instruments Brahms Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 Christopher Zimmerman, current Music Director of the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra, joins the IPO for a program that divides the orchestra in two wonderful works. Elgar's symphonic poem Introduction and Allegro for Strings resurrects the Baroque concerto grosso for string orchestra. Stravinsky's Symphonies of Winds is a colorful musical portrait and homage to Claude Debussy performed by an ensemble of brass and woodwind instruments. Brahms' Symphony No. 1 (often called "Beethoven's 10th") reunites the orchestra in a true masterpiece for the ages. Come hear two different personalities of the orchestra face off in the whirlwind of aural delight. |
