SUMMARY:ECSO concert- Opening Night Extravaganza- Saturday\, October 26\, 2024\, 7:30 pm Garde Arts Center\, 325 State St.\, New London\, CT 06320
DESCRIPTION:The opening program of the Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra's 2024-25 season\, its 15th under Music Director & Conductor Toshiyuki Shimada\, spans two centuries and two continents. After standing for The Star-Spangled Banner as arranged by none other than Igor Stravinsky the audience will thrill to the theme from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey (and\, more recently\, Barbie) from German composer Richard Strauss's 1896 tone poem Also Sprach Zarathustra. A trip to the Midwest of the 1930s follows: two movements from the orchestral suite based on Aaron Copland's 1954 opera The Tender Land. The first half wraps up with more from Strauss: the suite from his 1910 comic opera Der Rosenkavalier. Following intermission\, London-trained organist Simon Holt\, a 25-year resident of southeastern Connecticut and Director of Salt Marsh Opera (among many other organizations)\, will be the soloist for a performance of French composer Camille Saint-Sa ns's sparkling Symphony No. 3 in C Minor\, known as the "Organ Symphony\," dedicated to the memory of Franz Liszt\, who died two months after its 1886 premiere.
