Conductor Barbara Day Turner of the San José Chamber Orchestra will lead the Thüringer Symphoniker Saalfeld-Rudolstadt through two performances of two movements from my Weaving Olden Dances: Concerto for Chamber Orchestra on October 16 at 7:30 PM at the Meininger Hof in Saalfeld and October 17 at 7:30 PM at the Großes Haus in Rudolstadt, Germany.
Also on the program is Walter Leigh’s Concertino for Harpsichord and String Orchestra, Benjamin Britten’s Simple Symphony, and Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 5.
»Weaving Olden Dances« schuf Charles B. Griffin einen überraschenden Mix aus Rhythmen und Formstilen unterschiedlichster Epochen und Kulturen – vom Mittelalter bis in die heutige Zeit. Inspiriert von Johann Sebastian Bach, fand der New Yorker in der Barocksuite die geeignete Form, um Musikstile der ganzen Welt zu verbinden. Der zweite und der vierte Satz dieser Suite werden zum ersten Mal in Europa in diesem Sinfoniekonzert unter der Leitung von Barbara Day Turner zu hören sein.
