Reflections: February 7
A world premiere by longtime Harmonia collaborator Huntley Beyer anchors this program of choral gems. Beyer’s new composition reflects on life, maturity and aging — three of the themes explored by the other works on this varied concert, including music by local composers Sheila Bristow and Carol Sams, plus Samuel Barber’s Reincarnations. William White and Anjali Chudasama conduct.
Pathos: February 28
Everett native Carlos Garcia is a musician who can seemingly do everything: in his young career he has composed music for Marvel films, Disney theme parks and (most impressively of all) Harmonia. Carlos also plays a mean fiddle, and that’s why it’s so exciting to have him collaborate with another major talent (and Harmonia favorite), Rachel Lee Priday, on a new work for violin and orchestra. Music of Sibelius (the Karelia Overture) and Tchaikovsky (Symphony No. 6) — written in the frozen north but burning with red-hot passion — bookends the program.
Join Harmonia as we delve into the artistic testaments of history’s most original composers. In works as varied as Gustav Holst’s The Planets, Antonín Dvořák’s Te Deum and George Frideric Handel’s Israel in Egypt, we will explore these musical statements on life’s grandest themes — from love to death to the universe itself.
