Pro Musica Colorado Chamber Orchestra - "Mostly Mozart" Concert
Pro Musica Colorado Chamber Orchestra performs "Mostly Mozart" Saturday, November 7, 2009, 7:30 pm at Mountain View United Methodist Church at 355 Ponca Place in Boulder with a Pre-Concert Talk at 6:30 pm.CU faculty clarinetist Daniel Silver joins Pro Musica in the sublime Clarinet Concerto by Mozart. Also on the program are Mozart's Symphony No. 27, Jennifer Higdon's Celebration Fanfare, and Musica Celestis by Aaron Kernis.
Clarinet Concerto, K. 622
This is one of Mozart's last completed works and is one of his most sublime. It was written for his friend, Anton Stadler, who was a virtuoso of the clarinet and basset horn. Stadler was especially known for his beautiful playing in the lower register of the clarinet, and Mozart exploits that strength in his concerto.
Symphony No. 27, K. 199
Mozart had written many symphonies before this one was completed at the age of 17. This symphony is a synthesis of everything he had learned on his many travels to musical centers, such as Mannheim, Vienna, and Italy.
Musica Celestis
The composer writes that this work was inspired by the medieval conception of of the angels singing in heaven, praising God without end. He notes that he doesn't particularly believe in angels, but that the image was powerful for him. He had been inspired by listening to medieval music, especially that of Hildegard of Bingen. Writers have likened this work to Barber's Adagio for Strings.
Celebration Fanfare
Jennifer Higdon is on the composition faculty at the Curtis Institution of Music. She is one of America's most frequently performed composers who has been commissioned by many major orchestras. Celebration Fanfare is a jazzy work for string orchestra.
Ticket prices are: $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, $10 for students, and are available online at www.promusicacolorado.org, or by calling 303-776-5355.
Pro Musica Colorado is a professional chamber orchestra with some of Colorado's finest musicians, conducted by Cynthia Katsarelis.
