DESCRIPTION:

THIS POWERFUL PROGRAM FEATURES THE MUSIC OF TWO LEADING COMPOSERS, BEETHOVEN AND RAVEL. RAVEL’S BRILLIANT WORK, PIANO CONCERTO IN G, HIGHLIGHTS THE VIRTUOSITY OF THE SOLOIST WITH ELEMENTS OF JAZZ THAT SUGGEST THE INFLUENCE OF GEORGE GERSHWIN. GUEST ARTIST PARKER VAN OSTRAND MAKES HIS DEBUT PERFORMANCE WITH THE EVANSVILLE PHILHARMONIC. THE 20-YEAR-OLD HAS CONTINUED TO MOVE RAPIDLY TO THE FOREFRONT WHILE AT THE SAN FRANCISCO CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC. THE SECOND HALF OF THE CONCERT BRINGS BEETHOVEN’S MOST CELEBRATED WORKS, SYMPHONY NO. 3, “EROICA.” THIS WORK EMBRACES THE HEROIC IN EVERY INDIVIDUAL AND IS SAID TO BE BEETHOVEN’S FAVORITE SYMPHONY.
