Program Three - New Beginnings
SUN. MAR. 8, 2009 AT 4:00PM
TUES, MAR. 10, 2009 7:30PM
“New Beginnings” brings the second CSO Premiere by our Young American Composer-in-Residence, Mason Bates, one of the freshest voices in American music today. Symphony Magazine said that Bates “was bound to appear sooner or later…Many artists in one of these worlds have dabbled in the other. But Bates is the first to carry on two careers in tandem, and win credibility in both arenas….The most impressive thing is how comfortably his two idioms mix.”
We are also celebrating the 200th anniversary of composer Felix Mendlessohn with the CSO debut of the young gifted violinist Stefan Jackiw performing the composer’s great violin concerto. Jackiw is recognized as one of the most significant artists of his generation and has performed with many of the best orchestras in the U.S.
Closing out the concert is one of the classical music world’s great treasures, Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 4.
