Program:
HAGUE — Morning Overture
UVA Concerto Competition Winner — bass-baritone Jack Siegel
PROKOFIEV — Excerpts from Romeo and Juliet
Note: Due to a death in his family, Charlottesville Symphony Music Director Benjamin Rous is unable to conduct this weekend’s performances. His replacement is long-time colleague Eric Garcia, Music Director of the Boise Philharmonic and Conductor of the McCall MusicFest (ID). Garcia previously served as Assistant Conductor of the Seattle Symphony, where he led subscription, education, pops and community concerts.
The program, selected by Benjamin Rous, remains unchanged. Kristin Hauge’s “Morning Overture” and excerpts from Sergei Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet open and close the concerts. In between, UVA fourth-year student and bass-baritone Jack Siegel joins the orchestra in three popular opera arias. He is the winner of UVA’s second annual Concerto Competition which seeks to highlight the talents of student musicians in the university’s Department of Music. Siegel will sing “La vendetta” from Wolfgang Amadè Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, “Vecchia zimarra senti” from La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini and “The Toreador Song” – “Votre toast” – from Georges Bizet’s Carmen.
