From the lyrical woodwind and horn melodies of Richard Strauss’s Serenade in E-flat major to Gounod, Delius, and Mozart, our March concert heralds the arrival of spring.
Richard Strauss’s Serenade in E-flat major, composed when he was just seventeen years old, opens our March concert with lyrical woodwind and French horn melodies. Gounod’s sparkling, elegant Petite symphonie was modeled after Mozart’s wind serenades; here, it precedes the dramatic first movement of Mozart’s “little” G minor Symphony, used to great effect in the movie Amadeus. Finally, Delius’s "On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring" evokes the composer’s impressions of the Norwegian countryside by using the oboe, strings and clarinet to imitate the cuckoo heralding spring.
The livestream will take place at 7pm Central / 5pm Pacific.
