SUMMARY:Beethoven's Fifth
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nFour notes instantly recognizable across generations welcome back the much-loved Symphony No. 5 to the Kleinhans stage. The Fifth’s hallmark four-note pattern\, or “short-short-short-long\,” was a revolutionary concept at the time\, creating a rhythm as the subject line instead of a melody\, and one that recurs throughout all four movements. The composer laid the groundwork for future Romantic-era symphonies with the musical triumph and conflict resolution of “light over dark\,” ending on a note of hope and human resilience. Copland drew Dance Symphony’s rhythmic jazz motifs from his evocative\, unpublished vampire ballet about a morbid conjurer who could raise the dead and make them dance. Copland himself described the three movements as “thin\,” “songful\,” and “violent\,” respectively. In his Piano Concerto No. 1\, Beethoven expanded on Mozart’s influence by featuring challenging key changes and bold harmonies in this piece\, exemplifying his first compositional era and style. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nGeorge Li\, piano \nCOPLAND  Dance Symphony\nBEETHOVEN  Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major\nBEETHOVEN  Symphony No. 5 in C minor[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Shostakovich No. 5
DESCRIPTION:Composed to express his gratitude upon receiving an honorary degree despite not attending university\, a mischievous Brahms penned the tongue‐in‐cheek Academic Festival Overture\, which features boisterous student drinking songs as well as folk songs turned songs of student protest. With the energy of the music and the expansive orchestration\, the piece tends to lean more into the celebratory side of the title than the scholarly. South American composer Miguel del Aguila’s Concierto en Tango for Cello and Orchestra was commissioned by the BPO and principal cellist Roman Mekinulov\, and received its world premiere by the BPO in 2014. The work’s lighthearted\, rhythmic syncopation avoids the melodrama of tango’s traditional form\, while capturing the nostalgia of its joyful expression\, uniquely conveyed by the cello’s depth. Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 5\, which closes the program\, is forcedly optimistic and tonal. It proved career and lifesaving for the under-fire Shostakovich because of its patriotic nature and its glorification of Stalin’s Soviet regime. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nRoman Mekinulov\, cello \nBRAHMS  Academic Festival Overture\nMIGUEL DEL ÁGUILA  Concierto en Tango for Cello and Orchestra\nSHOSTAKOVICH  Symphony No. 5 in D minor

SUMMARY:Mozart's Violin
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nContinuing our Mozart Festival\, enjoy works by two contemporaries of Mozart: Joseph Bologne’s jaunty Symphony No. 2and Maria Theresia von Paradis’s Overture to The School Candidate. The Overture is her sole surviving orchestral piece and is in commedia dell’arte form—one that features many humorous character types familiar to audiences of Italian drama at the time. Mozart’s five violin concertos\, composed in 1775\, culminate in a Fifth that is imaginative\, experimental\, and technically challenging. The themes range from energetic to contemplative\, and Mozart includes musical nods to French and operatic styles prevalent at the time. The program closes with Symphony No. 35\, the fiery “Haffner\,” which honors a former Salzburg patron. Though the story goes Mozart composed it so quickly that he forgot “every single note of it\,” the symphony was incredibly well-received by the public and the king himself. Fitting with a royal fashion\, this composition is bold\, regal\, and brings the concert and festival to a grand and exciting close. \nAnthony Parnther\, conductor\nAubree Oliverson\, violin \nBOLOGNE  Symphony No. 2\nMOZART  Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major\nPARADIS  Overture to The School Candidate\nMOZART  Symphony No. 35\, “Haffner”[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Mozart's Mass
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nOur Mozart Festival opens with Symphony No. 38\, “Prague\,” composed on the heels of one of Mozart’s most famous operas\, The Marriage of Figaro’s\, tremendous success. This symphony exemplifies the peak of Mozart’s symphonic compositional style\, as it features sudden shifts from major to minor modes\, and defies listeners’ expectations for symphonic form\, adding to the drama and the effect of the piece. Symphony No. 38 is rich in complex subtleties and lyrical sophistication and spans a full spectrum of emotion. Mozart’s unfinished “Great” Mass in C minor follows the symphony. The mass is his most exalted and personal sacred work and was deeply influenced by the Baroque traditions of Bach and Handel. He composed church music without the demand that these composers experienced\, challenging the idea that musical progress could only be made by moving forward. The mass’ original movements journey from somber to soaring\, with later 20th-century revisions completing the piece. \nMaximiano Valdes\, conductor\nNatalia Santaliz\, soprano\nCamila Isabel\, soprano\nJohn Tiranno\, tenor\nHolden Turner\, baritone\nBuffalo Philharmonic Chorus \nMOZART  Symphony No. 38\, “Prague”\nMOZART  “Great” Mass in C minor[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
