SUMMARY:Masterworks V – Brahms Symphony No. 2 (Paramount Theatre)
DESCRIPTION:We’re painting a picture with sound under the baton of Guest Conductor and University of Iowa Alum\, Fernanda Lastra. Starting out with George Whitefield Chadwick’s Jubilee Overture\, who’s accompanying poem begins by loudly stating “No cool gray tones for me!” Then\, in homage to Lastra’s Argentinian roots\, Luis Gianneo’s Le Tarco en Flor captures the essence of the vibrant purple blooms of the Jacaranda tree. Orchestra Iowa’s own Principal Clarinet\, Christine Bellomy\, brings the dark emotions and rhythms of Oscar Navarro’s Clarinet Concerto No. 1 to life before we end the program with the ironically happy melodies of Brahms’ Symphony No. 2. \n\nCHADWICK – Jubilee Overture from Symphonic Sketches\nGIANNEO – El Tarco en Flor\nNAVARRO – Clarinet Concerto No. 1 with Principal Clarinet Christine Bellomy\nBRAHMS – Symphony No. 2
