On Saturday, October 8, the Symphony will perform
Rossini: Overture to The Barber of Seville
Lalo: Symphonie espagnole for Violin and Orchestra with Giora Schmidt
Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 in C minor
Guest Conductor Andrew Sewell has enjoyed fifteen seasons as Music Director of the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra in Madison.
Guest Artist Violinist Giora Schmidt is quickly establishing himself as a virtuoso of the grand tradition with a distinctive voice. His performances are illuminated by a richness of color and effortless technique making Giora one of the most commanding young artists on the stage today.
He has appeared with numerous symphony orchestras around the globe including, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Chicago, Detroit, New Jersey, Fort Worth, Honolulu, San Diego, Vancouver, Toronto, National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba, Orquesta Filarmónica de la UNAM (Mexico City), Orquesta Sinfonica de Chile, Sendai Philharmonic and the Israel Philharmonic.
Sandy will present a lecture about the composers who will be involved in the Saturday dress rehearsal and the evening orchestra performance. Then you will join Sandy and attend the San Luis Symphony for the No Ties Allowed Dress Rehearsal of that performance for the Classics in the Cohan series.
This course will be in two parts. In the morning, there will be a lecture about the composers, about the pieces that are to be played in the rehearsal, and about the soloists. In the afternoon, the class, as a group, attends the dress rehearsal of the performance. At the dress rehearsal SLO Symphony guest conductor Mr. Sewell will speak as he conducts, giving background information, musicology, and notes on harmony. With his broad knowledge and stage presence, the dress rehearsal should be fairly comprehensive.
Please note that the dress rehearsal now begins at 11:00 am rather than 1:00pm
Saturday, October 8, 2016. 8:30 - 10:30am. for course, followed by symphony dress rehearsal 11:00 - 1:00 pm.
