You probably never thought you’d hear the music of Duke Ellington in an orchestra concert, but the big band great, Ellington, wrote quite a few pieces for orchestra. His ballet, The River, is where the music for tonight’s suite comes from. Each movement is a different musical treatment of water and how Ellington thought it might move or sound like. Delius’ A Song of Summer is a beautiful preview of the coming season as we end winter; peaceful, tuneful, and lovely. Horatio Parker isn’t a composer name that many audience members will recognize, but we are going to change that! Parker was a late 19th Century American composer and his music is terrific. Come hear a composer who deserves more performances!
