FRENCH PASTRIES
Sunday, January 11, 2009 at 3:00pm
Calvary Presbyterian Church, Milwaukee
This event includes not only a concert, but a complimentary glass of French wine, a silent auction featuring French and other unique items and complimentary valet parking. The concert will feature musical confections that embody the brilliant style of twentieth century French composers, and especially that of the wittiest, most urbane of them all: Maurice Ravel. We'll explore two of his most intimate works; but first we'll hear music from his only teacher, Gabriel Fauré, and from the most famous French impressionist of all, Claude Debussy.
Ballade, Opus 19, Gabriel Fauré, featuring Milwaukee pianist Michelle Hayes Hynson
Pavane, Opus 50, Gabriel Fauré
Prélude à "L'après-midi d'un faune," Claude Debussy, arr. Schönberg
Le Tombeau de Couperin, Maurice Ravel
Ma Mère l'Oye (Mother Goose) 5 pièce enfantines (Suite), Maurice Ravel

A MUSICAL MONTAGE
Saturday, September 13, 2008 at 7:30pm
Calvary Presbyterian Church, Milwaukee
Two symphonies, a suite, and a serenade. This is music at its most pure. The two symphonies represent the highest achievements by two musical revolutionaries. Premiered in 1999, MacMillian's Symphony No. 2 is a dramatic tour de force for chamber orchestra. Written a little over 200 years earlier, in 1793, Symphony No. 99 illustrates Haydn's first use of an instrument that Mozart had introduced to symphonic writing: the clarinet. Nielson's Little Suite and Reger's Wind Serenade offer sunny contrast in texture and weight to the mighty symphonies.
Symphony No. 2, James MacMillan
Little Suite, Opus 1, Carl Nielsen
Wind Serenade in B flat Major, Max Reger
Symphony No. 99 in E flat Major, Franz Josef Haydn
