Presented By: School of Music, Theatre & Dance
University Philharmonia Orchestra
Oriol Sans, conductor
Pre-concert lecture at 7:15PM in the lower lobby
The University Philharmonia Orchestra will conclude the year with an exhibition of Spanish flair: Manuel de Falla’s first suite from Three Cornered Hat, a comic ballet premiered in London in 1919 with set designs by Pablo Picasso, and Maurice Ravel’s Rapsodie Espagnole, an orchestral work that exudes in every turn the composer’s quasi-hedonistic attraction for Spain. The concert will begin with Cesar Franck's Symphony in D, his pinnacle orchestral achievement. Tragically, its masterful combination of French and German musical styles at the outset of the Franco-Prussian war lead to its unjust exclusion from the canon.
PROGRAM: Franck- Symphony in D; Falla- Suite no. 1 from Three Cornered Hat; Ravel- Rapsodie Espagnole
