Oriol Sans, conductor
Adrian Slywotzky, guest conductor

Pre-concert lecture at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The concert opens with the Sufism sound-world of Crazed for the Flame written by U-M composition faculty member Evan Chambers. His “music with tears” contrasts with the different mysticism that arises with Robert Schumann’s third symphony, a work composed out of wonder witnessing the Cathedral of Cologne. Gabriel Fauré’s Masques and Bergamasques Suite, an homage to 18th century French music, will complete the concert. Returning U-M graduate, Adrian Slywotzky, will be the guest conductor.

PROGRAM: Chambers- Crazed for the Flame; Fauré- Masques et Bergamasques; Schumann- Symphony No. 3, “Rhenish”
