About this Event

Experience an electrifying evening where rhythm, machinery, and transformation collide in Mechanical Metamorphosis — a concert that explores stark dynamic changes, rhythmic energy, and musical reinvention.

We are thrilled to welcome our extra special guest, Andrea Levine, principal clarinetist of the Louisville Orchestra, for a dazzling showcase of virtuosity and expression.

From the whirring precision of industrial energy to sweeping Romantic lyricism, this program highlights music inspired by relentless momentum.

Program Highlights

William Bolcom – Machine from Symphony No. 5

A driving, kinetic opener that captures the relentless pulse of machinery in brilliant orchestral color.

Leonard Bernstein / orch. Sid Ramin** – Sonata for Clarinet, Piano and Orchestra**

I. Grazioso

II. Andante; Vivace e leggiero     

Featuring Andrea Levine, clarinet

Originally composed for clarinet and piano, this orchestral version bursts with Bernstein’s signature wit, lyricism, and jazzy vitality.

Carl Maria von Weber – Concertino for Clarinet and Orchestra      Featuring Andrea Levine, clarinet

A Romantic showpiece filled with dramatic contrasts, soaring melodies, and sparkling technical brilliance.

Paul Hindemith – Symphonic Metamorphosis

I. Allegro

II. Scherzo (Turandot): Moderato – Lively

III. Andantino

IV. Marsch

Hindemith transforms themes by Weber into a bold, rhythmically charged orchestral spectacle — a masterclass in reinvention.

Johann Strauss II – Tik-Tak Polka, Op. 365A playful, clockwork-inspired encore that brings the evening full circle with wit and charm.

Join us for a night of sparkling virtuosity, imaginative transformation, and music that moves — mechanically, emotionally, and irresistibly.
