UMD Repertoire Orchestra: Brahms's Second Symphony

Join UMRO on their final concert of the 2014-2015 season. The concert will feature Brahms's Second Symphony: a piece which, from its original premiere, has been seen as one of Brahms's great triumphs.

The concert will begin with two well-known master works from the operatic canon. Weber's Overture to Der Freischütz is a passionate work which recounts the story of the opera--including the Agathe's beautiful aria and the dark Wolf's Glen scene. This will be followed by a suite featuring the music from one of the most famous operas of all-time: Bizet's Carmen.

Larissa Dedova and James Stern Faculty Recital

These two virtuosos have shared a hallway at the School of Music for years but never played together—something must be done about this!

In their first ever sonata recital they team up to deliver Shostakovich at his most ecstatic, Mozart at his most operatic (well, apart from his operas of course), and Ravel at his most…Cubist? Each work, in its own way, revolutionizes the medium of violin and piano.

Program

  • Shostakovich: Sonata op. 134 (1969)
  • Mozart: Sonata K. 378
  • Ravel: Sonata (1927)

UMD Gamelan Saraswati

The complex interlocking rhythms of Balinese music on percussive instruments, the myriad expressions and the delicate motions of Balinese dance unite in the UMD Gamelan Saraswati.

Chamber Music Showcase

Small chamber groups of students perform repertoire for strings, woodwinds, brass and piano.

The culmination of rehearsal and coaching during the semester, this concert is an integral part of coursework for UMD School of Music students and provides a glimpse into the training they receive for performing in major ensembles.

Common Tone: AMPLIFIED

Performed with bold visual projections, AMPLIFIED is a dynamic program featuring the collaboration of electronic music and acoustic instrumentation through original compositions and contemporary classical music. The program features Steve Reich's "Different Trains" and original compositions by members of rogue collective.
