UMD Symphony Orchestra & Maryland Opera Studio
Taught by James Ross and Liz Lerman, the School of Music’s first course on improvisation, collaboration and art-making culminates on stage with a conductorless performance that integrates music and movement.
The Maryland Opera Studio joins UMSO on the second half of the concert to perform highlights from their spring production of Rossini’s one-act opera, L’occasione fa il ladro (Opportunity makes a thief).
UMD Repertoire Orchestra: Fiesta!
UMD Repertoire Orchestra performs Rimsky-Korsakov's Capricicio Espagnol along with two of Mexico's most popular and frequently performed classical compositions for orchestra: José Pablo Moncayo's Huapango and Arturo Márquez's Danzon No. 2.
Also on the program: Laura Kaufman, the third-prize winner in the 2013 UMSO Concerto competition, joins the orchestra to perform the Liebermann Flute Concerto.
UMD Wind Ensemble: Fanfare, Fugue, Fiestas
UMD Wind Ensemble opens this concert with Frank Ticheli’s regal Pacific Fanfare, and an adaptation of J.S. Bach’s Fantasia and Fugue in C Minor.
In Leonard Bernstein's “Profanation” from Symphony No. 1, disjointed fragments of liturgical melodies evolve into a riotous pagan ritual to dramatize the biblical story of Jeremiah, a prophet who was mocked for predicting the destruction of Jerusalem.
The final piece on the program, H. Owen Reed’s La Fiesta Mexicana, depicts a typical fiesta through adaptations of Mexican folk music.
