Windham Philharmonic: Music Through a Prism
Windham Philharmonic: Music Through a Prism
Step into a world of color, light, and sound with the Windham Philharmonic’s spring concerts, Music Through a Prism, on Saturday, April 11 and Monday, April 13. This program refracts Baroque, Romantic, and modern music through a vivid kaleidoscope of textures and moods.
Our concert includes Bach’s Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C minor, featuring oboist Aaron Lakota and our concertmaster Michelle Liechti, a sparkling dialogue of drive and elevated expression. Maria Gabriella Mendez will enchant us all with the smiling sadness of Dvořák’s Violin Romance.
Combining lush harmonies with a modernist sparkle, Glazunov’s Saxophone Concerto of 1934 showcases alto saxophone soloist Nick Pelton. The program closes with Dvořák’s Jarní (Spring), a brief, jubilant celebration of renewal and blossoming energy for orchestra and our guest soloists.
Visual art and music meet in Pedro Pereira’s cubist-inspired poster, expertly suggesting the playful, multifaceted musical journey awaiting the audience.
Music Through a Prism is a concert of vibrant orchestral sound and inventive programming, played by soloists celebrated and beloved by local audiences.
