Listen to the prelude talk by Lara Webber, with the student soloists (25MB mp3 file).
Just as painters use color, texture, light, and shadow, composer Christopher Theofanidis creates vivid musical imagery with lyrical melodies and brilliant orchestration in his triumphant work “Rainbow Body.” The winners of our 2015–2016 Competition for Young Musicians are featured in this concert full of exciting contrasts: Buckle your seat belt for Saint-Saëns’ wild “Danse Bacchanale” from Samson and Delilah. In the lobby during intermission, hear Element 116, the jazz band led by Matt Finders. And enjoy the warmth of Brahms’ ingenious Variations on a Theme of Joseph Haydn.
