Schubert's symphony, unfinished yet perfect, inspires wonder at what is next and the unknown destination of existence. Liszt's tone poem after Lamartine starts its journey with the poet's question, "What else is our life but a series of preludes to that unknown Hymn, the first and solemn note of which is intoned by Death?" 

BEETHOVEN - Egmont Overture

MOZART - Concerto for Horn no. 4

Josh Williams, soloist

SCHUBERT - “Unfinished” Symphony

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC 

Monday, NOVEMBER 19, 2018

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, 7:00PM

Chamber Orchestra

Adam Flatt, Conductor

In the serene sanctuary of the First Presbyterian Church, two incomparably beautiful Mozart serenades usher in the holiday season. The richness of Mozart's writing for a large wind band in the "Gran Partita" has inspired astonished devotion comparable to the Mona Lisa and other icons in culture. In the Peter Schaffer play "Amadeus," Antonio Salieri, hearing the "Gran Partita" for the first time famously cries, "Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God.”

MOZART-  Serenade no. 13 K. 525 “Eine kleine Nachtmusik”

MOZART - Serenade no. 10 K. 361 “Gran Partita” for 13 wind instruments

Rachmaninoff and Hindemith composed works of heartfelt sweep and Romantic optimism in a time when all artistic currents moved in the opposite direction. Rachmaninoff's work is epic: a deeply moving journey through stirring melody, orchestral color, and full-throttle symphonic power that culminates in a radiant, exciting finale.
