This riveting program opens with two thrilling world premieres. SCSO favorites, sopranos Mary Kruger and Amy Cofield return to the stage to present Mark Piszczek’s Brigit and The Banshee, derived from text from the city of Orlando’s first poet laureate, Susan Lilley. The poem is based on Celtic folklore and the legend of the goddess, Brigit, that was later co-opted by the church and would later become a saint. The concert will also feature Lucas Cornejo’s Symphony No. 1. Cornejo, an 18 year old senior from Melbourne High School and a student of Aaron’s penned a powerful and exciting four movement symphony full of sweeping and rousing themes. Rachmaninoff’s Third Symphony baffled listeners at its 1936 premiere, but the composer predicted it would one day “be rediscovered … and become a sensational success.” The Symphony No. 3 is unmistakably Rachmaninoff — with soaring melodies, shattering climaxes, and the dark rumblings of his signature Dies irae from the Mass for the Dead. But once the clouds have lifted, the Symphony ends in jubilant, life-affirming exclamations. Hear why this electrifying work is now considered one of the composer’s finest creations.TICKET & GENERAL INFORMATION:
