Of Liszt’s thirteen symphonic poems, the fourth, Orpheus, is the most ravishingly romantic and lyrical. This sensuous orchestral effusion is surrounded on our concert by two rousing works from the world of opera: the overture to Verdi’s Un giorno di regno (one of only two comedies to come from Verdi’s pen), and the famous Bacchanale from Saint-Saëns’ Samson and Delilah. The concert opens with the overture to the opera Il trionfo della fedeltà by Maria Antonia Walpurgis (1724-1780), a brilliant composer whose music straddles the Baroque and Classical eras, and continues with the U.S. premiere of the Sinfonietta by Lithuanian composer Kristina Vasiliauskaitė, a composition suffused with striking colors and effervescent themes. The concert will also feature a unique Halloween presentation… don’t miss out on the surprise!
