SUMMARY:Bach & Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Rossen Milanov\, Conductor\nJoanna Frankel\, violin\nHugo Souza\, oboe \nTower: Duets\nBach: Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C Minor\nBrahms: Symphony No. 1 \nHear the CSO’s own talented musicians as soloists: concertmaster Joanna Frankel and principal oboist Hugo Souza perform Bach’s captivating C minor concerto for oboe and violin. Joan Tower’s Duets spotlights shifting pairs of instruments in duet configurations. Brahms’ first symphony famously took the composer twenty years to complete\, resulting in a work of stunning power and beauty\, cemented as a pillar in orchestral music. \n“As an oboist\, playing Bach’s music is always an enlightening experience. His compositions are deeply thoughtful and translate beautifully to any instrument. I am thrilled to perform this piece with Joanna Frankel\, Maestro Milanov\, and my dear colleagues in the Columbus Symphony. I cannot wait to share this wonderful work with our audience!” – Hugo Souza\, Principal Oboe

SUMMARY:Boléro
DESCRIPTION:Rossen Milanov\, Conductor\nLuis Biava\, cello \nHindemith: Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Weber​\nBloch: Schelomo​\nBizet: L’Arleseine\, Suite No. 1​\nRavel: Boléro \nThe symphonic favorites featured on this program are what keep us coming back for more! Enjoy Ravel’s famous Boléro\, a mesmerizing showcase for many of the instruments of the orchestra. Hindemith’s brilliant Symphonic Metamorphosis is his most well-known output and was immediately embraced by the public upon its premiere in 1944. Bloch’s glorious Schelomo: “Hebrew Rhapsody\,” celebrates his Jewish heritage and features CSO principal cellist Luis Biava as soloist. Bizet’s exciting L’Arlésienne Suite No. 1 is inspired by the folk dances of Provence. \n“Boléro is a rite of passage for us percussionists. Exhilarating\, mesmerizing\, terrifying\, graceful\, relentless—these are just a few of the words that come to mind. It requires meticulous precision and steady control of one’s energy\, and by the time there’s a moment to appreciate what’s happening on stage\, it’s already over. It’s an emotional and musical journey that I look forward to sharing with my colleagues and Rossen!” – Cameron Leach\, Principal Percussion\n“Schelomo is such a special work not only because my teacher Leonard Rose played this piece incredibly and I was honored he taught it to me\, but it also has an amazing trajectory of Solomon’s story depicted in amazing color\, intensity\, triumph\, sadness\, and strength.” – Luis Biava\, principal cello

SUMMARY:Beethoven's Eroica
DESCRIPTION:Rossen Milanov\, Conductor\nSterling Elliott\, cello \nCorigliano: Phantasmagoria for Cello and Orchestra\nBeethoven: Symphony No. 3 (“Eroica”) \nIn a Columbus Symphony co-commission\, cellist Sterling Elliott performs famed composer John Corigliano’s Phantasmagoria for solo cello and orchestra. Rossen leads the orchestra in Beethoven’s sweeping third symphony\, the ‘Eroica\,’ or “Heroic” Symphony\, written in a time of great personal despair for Beethoven as he faced the loss of his hearing while still resolving to push the boundaries of the symphonic genre. \n“In my opinion\, this is the first Beethoven symphony that actually sounds like Beethoven! It is unusually orchestrated in the brass with 3 horns. My part\, horn 3\, is there so the horn section can play complete chords and harmonies. It is a very fun work for the horns!” Julia Rose\, Associate Principal Horn \nThe co-commission of John Corigliano’s Phantasmagoria is made possible by the Donald Harris Fund for New Compositions\, and this concert is dedicated in memory of Donald Harris.
