On Sunday, March 13th, we will be attending the March concert “For every action …” with the award-winning Elgin Youth Symphony Orchestra student musicians. This is the second concert “Flipped” in the 2021-22 season to see how it changes. From a point of view, it can make a difference to the world.
“Experience how music creates ripples in sound as it reverberates throughout history, culture, and even between the molecules of a concert hall,” said Matthew Shepard, artistic director of EYSO. I am.
Concert attendees are looking forward to a diverse repertoire. Contemporary French composer Claude-Michel Schönberg’s “Les Miserables”, 20th century composer Samuel Barber’s painfully beautiful “Adagio for Strings”, an inspiring selection from the Florence Price movement E minor energetic Symphony No. 1, Dmitri Shostakovich’s powerful fifth symphony.
Price was the first black woman to play music by a major American orchestra. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra played Symphony Orchestra No. 1 in 1933.
Shostakovich was a Russian composer of the Soviet era, whose entire musical career was spent in the Russian communist regime, where he balanced his own artistic tendencies with national demands. I had to.
300 students from nearly 70 communities perform at concerts at 2 pm, 4:30 pm and 7 pm, with beginner to intermediate level students playing early in the day, and EYSO’s very advanced Youth Symphony, the flagship orchestra for high school and college students, will perform in the evening.
EYSO’s youngest ensemble, Primo, will be on stage with Youth Symphony for a side-by-side performance at a concert at 7pm. They perform “Hungarian Dance” by the German composer Johannes Brahms in the late 19th century. This event is highly anticipated by both groups, and music collaboration always delights both performers and spectators.
The concert schedule is 2:00 pm for Prelude, Sinfonia, Flute Choir and Sinfonia Percussion Ensemble, 4:30 pm for Brass Choir, Philharmonia and Philharmonia Percussion Ensemble, and 4:00 pm for Primo, Youth Symphony and Youth Symphony Percussion Ensemble. It will be 30 minutes.7:00 pm
