Michael Haithcock, conductor
Danielle Gonzalez, soloist, SMTD Concerto Competition winner
Pre-concert conversation with Judy Bozone, Danielle Gonzalez, and Michael Haithcock at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.
Four movements of Mozart’s “magnificent and sublime” Gran Partita recall the work’s premiere in 1784. This timeless classic is contrasted with the premiere of a composition by Judy Bozone, a recent U-M alumna, based on her recollections of living in Thailand. Higdon’s Percussion Concerto exploits the traditions of the classical concerto form infused with her award-winning compositional language. Premiered in Hill Auditorium in 1967, Nelson’s Rocky Point Holiday was an instant classic and has been an audience favorite for more than half a century!
PROGRAM: Mozart- Serenade No.10 “Gran Partita”, Mvt. 1, 3, 4, and 7; Judy Bozone- Spilled Orange (premiere performance); Jennifer Higdon- Percussion Concerto, Danielle Gonzalez, soloist; Ron Nelson- Rocky Point Holiday
