Visions by Clyne, Vaughan Williams, Ravel, Berlioz, 周日 20 10月 2024, 从 (2024/2024), 导体 Nicholas Hersh, Overture Center for the Arts, Madison, United States

The first of several guest conductors appearing with us this season is Nicholas Hersh. In his words, “The music on this program is immensely evocative, and it’s all about the relationship of the human and the supernatural.” Join us for the MSO premiere of This Midnight Hour by British Composer Anna Clyne, a piece based on poetry by Charles Baudelaire and Juan Ramón Jiménez that is sure to evoke a visual journey for the listener. Violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins returns to perform two works, beginning with the gentle The Lark Ascending by Ralph Vaughan Williams, based upon a poem by George Meredith. She then plays Tzigane, Maurice Ravel’s virtuosic take on Roma fiddling. This program finishes with the monumental Symphonie fantastique by Hector Berlioz, a passionate and musical vision.
