Three great artists come together to do justice to Beethoven's "Triple Concerto" on a program with Mussorgsky's famous work drawing inspiration from art itself.
Program
Anna CLYNE / Masquerade
BEETHOVEN / "Triple Concerto" for Violin, Cello, and Piano - 250 years of Beethoven!
MUSSORGSKY (orch. Ravel) / Pictures at an Exhibition
Key Notes
- Anna Clyne’s Masquerade was premiered in 2013 by the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The work is an energetic, five-minute ode to the celebratory promenade concerts of 18th-century London.
- Beethoven’s birthday celebration continues with his “Triple Concerto” for violin, cello, and piano featuring the return of PSO favorite violinist Daniel Rowland, joined by cellist Maja Bogdanović and pianist Steven Beck.
- Pictures at an Exhibition is scored for an orchestra on the grandest scale – note the alto saxophone, celesta, and extensive percussion section and listen for the promenade movements imaginatively taking you from image to image.
