Pre-Season Woodwind Ensemble Concert: Sweet Serenades
September 16, 2018 @ 2:00 pm
FreeGrab your passports for an afternoon of around-the-world wind music led by Joseph Peters, Associate Principal Oboe of the North Carolina Symphony (NWS 2011-14). Antonín Dvořák’s refreshing Serenade pays homage to Mozart, lifting spirits to new heights with its fanciful and free melodies. Known as Romania’s greatest musical celebrity, George Enescu infuses his double wind quintet with an infectious humor and light-heartedness. Adam Schoenberg creates a companion piece to Barber’s famed Summer Music quintet with his Winter Music, a fantasy world depicting the magically-warm winters of California. Exotic folk tunes take the spotlight in Russian Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov’s rich tribute to the Georgian region.
