b'Program NotescontinuedRimsky-Korsakov never visited Spain himself, even in his travels as an officer of the Imperial Navy. As such, the work is more of a reflection of the composers imagination and research rather than firsthand experience with Spanish culture. I would venture to say that he nailed it.As assistant conductor of the PSO, I also serve as conductor of the Symphonic Orchestra for the Youth Orchestra of Central Jersey. I always program for them one piece that PSO is also performing that season. I am pleased to share that we will be performing Capriccio espagnol at our January 2023 concert. Please join us for what is sure to be an exciting concert!Instrumentationtwo flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, percussion, harp, and stringsDuration15 minutes~Kenneth BeanAssistant ConductorPrinceton Symphony OrchestraJune 2023princetonsymphony.org/festival'
