June 2026 Concert

Scheherazade

This concert program features three distinct evocations of love, laughter and passion. Manuel de Falla’s Three-Cornered Hat, written as ballet music for Serge Diaghilev, follows a lecherous magistrate on his always thwarted quest of the beautiful miller’s wife. Alexander Glazunov’s Violin Concerto in A-Minor combines instrumental virtuosity with deep feelings and lyrical expressions. The violin soloist, Nathan Amaral, received the Sphinx Organization’s 2024 Medal Of Excellence Award. Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s orchestral tour-de-force Scheherazade, based on tales from The Thousand and One Nights, is one of the most popular works on the orchestral repertoire for a reason. This performance, featuring Concertmaster Julie Fischer, commemorates her 10th season in the chair.
