Michael Haithcock, conductor Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Hill Auditorium, “Tunes of Long Ago” The rich history of Hill Auditorium as a concert hall is celebrated with “tunes of long ago.” Sierra’s Fandangos incorporates dance themes penned by Baroque composers Soler and Boccherini which are interpreted through the lens of his Latin heritage. Richard Wagner paid tribute to Carl Maria von Weber by setting tunes from Euryanthe in a beautiful elegiac setting. Percy Grainger memorialized centuries of English folks singers in his six musical portraits of the human condition called Lincolnshire Posy. Based on the traditional 100th Psalm Tune, and featuring Hill’s magnificent Frieze Memorial Organ, Maslanka’s powerful Symphony no. 4 is the culmination of this musical journey from the past to the present. Pre-concert lecture with Michael Haithcock and friends at 7:15 in the Lower Lobby. PROGRAM: Ives - The Things Our Fathers Loved; Sierra - Fandangos; Wagner - Trauermusik; Grainger - Lincolnshire Posy; Maslanka - Symphony no. 4
