Spring Concert “Young at Heart”
Saturday, April 20, 2013 - 7:30 p.m.
The UMW Philharmonic Orchestra will present its season finale on Saturday, April 20. After a groundbreaking year that featured a national PBS show and flutist Sir James Galway, the program entitled “Young at Heart” will present popular classics for all ages. Says Maestro Dr. Kevin Bartram, “I wanted to end the year with music that is all smiles-sure to please the entire family.”
The concert will feature as guests the Rappahannock Youth Symphony, directed by Veronica Jackson, who will perform a number on their own and then will combine with the Philharmonic in the rousing “Russian Sailor’s Dance.” The Philharmonic will present “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” by Benjamin Britten. This famous work highlights each section of the orchestra and teaches us what the instruments sound like and are capable of doing. This is the first time the Philharmonic has performed the work.
Also on the program is Copland’s “Billy the Kid Suite”, Kabalevsky’s “Dance of the Comedians”, Dvorak’s “Humoresque” and the spirited “Polka and Fugue from Schwanda the Bagpiper” by Jaromir Weinberger.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. in Dodd Auditorium.
Tickets are only $10.00.
