Presenting Copland’s final work for orchestra, we begin the program with Three Latin American Sketches. Copland himself referred to the tunes, the rhythms, and the temperament of the work as “folksy, while the orchestration is light and snappy.” All three movements enlist traditional Latin melodies, remembering the composer’s rural American landscapes.
The LPO also welcomes ICMA’s 2016 “Young Artist of the Year,” Pablo Ferrández. Ferrández’s brilliant career has evolved through collaborations with internationally renowned artists and world leading orchestras. In his performance of Concerto in C Major by Haydn, Pablo will bring a compelling technique to this staple of the cello repertoire enhanced by his expert skill and refined expression.
Continuing our celebration of the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth we’ll pay homage to the composer with what is considered to be one of his most celebrated works, Symphony No. 3, “Eroica.” Grounded in classical tradition, this symphony also stretches boundaries of form, length, and harmony.

“Europe on the Brink”
For CCCMF’s 2019 Season Finale Concert in Rayne Memorial United Methodist Church’s historic Sanctuary, Ensemble-in-Residence the Manhattan Chamber Players will give a rich, varied program of music written in Europe during first half of the 20th century. An exciting yet fearful time, ever-increasing Nationalism extended to the musical world, creating far greater variety in compositional style from country to country, but the constant threat of war (or the actuality of it) also gave much music from this period a visceral immediacy. Join us for this exciting program!
Program:
Maurice Ravel (1875 – 1937) Sonatine (1905)
Richard Strauss (1864-1949)
Sextet from Capriccio, Op. 85 (1941)
Béla Bartók (1881 – 1945) Contrasts, Sz.111 (1938)
Ensemble-in-Residence the Manhattan Chamber Players will perform music written for what was, especially at the time of their composition, an either completely new or very rare combination of instruments. Beginning with Mozart’s magical Concerto for Flute and Harp and concluding with Tchaikovsky’s show-stopping Souvenir de Florence, this concert is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!
Program
W.A. Mozart (1756 – 1791) Andantino from Concerto for Flute and Harp, K. 299 (1778)
Frank Bridge (1879 – 1941) Lament for Two Violas (1911)
