Winchester Orchestra and Internationally-acclaimed guest conductor Scott Seaton present Heitor Villa-Lobos' first movement of Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra, featuring award-winning soloist, Nicholas Padmanabhan.
The Concerto for Guitar with its chamber-like qualities, is intimate, expressive, and yet full of the "intensity and the passionate restlessness" of its creator... the concerto does honor to the guitar... It remains a very important contribution to the repertoire of the classical guitar. John Patykula, Classical Guitar Magazine
Also on the program:
Johannes Brahms' Tragic Overture Brahms chose the title "tragic" to emphasize the turbulent, tormented character of the piece, in contrast to the mirthful ebullience of its companion piece the Academic Festival Overture. Brahms summed it up by declaring that "one laughs while the other cries." To this day, it still stands as one of the most profound musical expressions of tragedy composed in the Romantic age. -Adapted from Wikipedia
Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No 8 in G Major, Op. 88 Dvorak composed this score in celebration and appreciation of his election to the Bohemian Academy of Emperor Franz Joseph for the Encouragement of Arts and Literature. The Eighth is uplifting, lyrical, and is thought to be inspired by his beloved Bohemian folk music.
