Our brilliant MN Orchestra woodwinds will charm the socks right off you with their lovely solos in Lars-Erik Larsson’s too-short (10-minute) consistently lovely “A Winter’s Tale.” It opens this week’s concerts, so don’t be late or you’ll miss this set of four gentle and folk-songy vignettes written to accompany a 1937 radio broadcast of Shakespeare’s play. At times flowing like a brook waking from its winter’s hibernation, or jaunty and prancing, or carefree and almost laughing, or a bit melancholy and aching, you’ll almost feel the snow melting as you listen to this piece.
And hey, if you’re of Swedish descent and your ancestors came from Åkarp (near Malmö), be sure to come to celebrate the home-town composer!
Tickets (very few remain) and more info here: http://www.minnesotaorchestra.org/buy/tickets/browse-calendar/eventdetail/366/-/a-winter-s-tale-new-world-symphony#.VMz3ZGjF_l-
Also on this week’s program are the hot young violinist Augustin Hadelich (read about him in our Jan. 31 post) in the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto and the justifiably popular “New World Symphony” by Antonín Dvořák, all conducted by Christopher Warren-Green.
Coming to Thursday morning’s performance? Don’t miss the Concert Preview with Phillip Gainsley, Christopher Warren-Green and Augustin Hadelich at 10:15 in the Auditorium!
