A Composer’s Travelogue - Symphonic Masterworks SeriesPack your musical passport and join us for A Composer’s Travelogue, a whirlwind symphonic journey across continents and cultures. From the fiery dances of Spain to the twilight stillness of North Africa, from the sun-washed streets of Italy to the moonlit deserts of Central Asia, this program celebrates the way composers have captured the sound of places they visited, imagined, or longed for.
Ravel, Debussy, and Rimsky-Korsakov bring Spain to life through three completely different lenses — elegant, mysterious, and electrifying. Saint-Saëns gives us a dreamy Algerian sunset, while Ibert sails us through three vivid ports of call. After intermission, we arrive in Italy through Strauss and Tchaikovsky, drift eastward with Borodin, dance through Brazilian rhythms with Respighi, and finish with Gershwin’s irresistible Cuban Overture.
It’s one concert, eight countries, ten composers’ passports stamped in music — and a reminder that long before airplanes, orchestras were already traveling the world.
