Festival Orchestra: Melodies of Britain
About this event
Music Director Sir Donald Runnicles celebrates his home islands with two distinct visions of Great Britain. Haydn’s final symphony was written and premiered in London, a city that adored him like a native son, while James MacMillan’s orchestral fantasy on patriotic British themes, Britannia , creates a “tapestry” of “surprising scenarios in the mind of the listener.” Not to be missed, violinist Maria Ioudenitch makes her GTMF debut with Mendelssohn’s “jewel of the heart,” the moving Violin Concerto. program James MacMillan: Britannia Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto Haydn: Symphony No. 104, “London” Sir Donald Runnicles, conductor Maria Ioudenitch, violin Festival Orchestra & guest artist Maria Ioudenitch sponsored by Ari Rifkin, in memory of Leonard Rifkin Maestro Runnicles sponsored by Susan Jane & Nicholas J.
