This weekend’s concerts are sure to be COLORFUL and tuneful!
From Schumann’s rousing and dramatic “Manfred” Overture to the lush romantic melodies of his beloved Piano Concerto to the evocative and brilliant Spanish flair of Ravel’s “Rapsodie espagnole” to the infectious humor and dance rhythms of de Falla’s two Suites from “The Three-Cornered Hat,” you’re sure to leave humming a tune or two!
The highly-regarded and widely-recorded Spanish-born conductor Jesús López-Cobos makes his debut with our Orchestra. He is sure to bring unique Spanish insights to the Ravel and de Falla pieces! Read his bio here: http://www.minnesotaorchestra.org/about/who-we-are/musicians-soloists-conductors/guest-artists-new/1344-jesus-lopez-cobos
The Schumann Concerto is performed by the insightful Swiss-born pianist Andreas Haefliger. He has performed with all the great orchestras (as well as performing and recording extensively as a recitalist and chamber musician). A September 2014 review of one of his recordings described him as “consummately lyrical...exhibitionism and pretence are antithetical to his musical personality…he has a vision of musical architecture second to none and a tender, profoundly cultivated sensibility, from which music flows unimpeded.” Read more about him here: http://www.minnesotaorchestra.org/about/who-we-are/musicians-soloists-conductors/guest-artists-new/1345-andreas-haefliger
If you don’t already have tickets for Friday or Saturday night, grab yours here: http://www.minnesotaorchestra.org/buy/tickets/browse-calendar/eventdetail/523/-/schumann-ravel-and-de-falla#.VujHquIrLIV
We hope to see you at Orchestra Hall this weekend!
