Featuring Ryan MacEvoy McCullough, Award-Winning Pianist
Under the baton of Maestro Anthony Parnther, the Inland Valley Symphony will take you on a tour of Europe and beyond; from the rhythms of Spain to the musical precision of Germany to passionate Russia. Mr. Parnther has been invited to conduct the symphony as part of the symphony's Guest Conductor Series. His astute attention to musical detail will no doubt reflect in the orchestra's dramatic presentation of works from three composers who greatly differ stylistically.
The music of The Three-Cornered Hat (El Sombrero de Tres Picos), by Manuel de Falla (fromAndalusia) was originally performed in Madrid and later danced as a ballet by the Ballet Russesin London. Suite No. 1 includes excerpts from the full production that utilize various themes fromAndalusian folk music, including several characteristic Spanish dances: the fandango, the seguidilla and a strutting farruca.
Award-winning Pianist Ryan MacEvoy McCullough returns to perform yet another spectacular piano classic; Beethoven's Concerto for Piano & Orchestra No. 4 in G Major. This will beRyan's third appearance with the Inland Valley Symphony. His previous performances have received rave reviews with rousing standing ovations. We expect this concert to offer none less than a stellar rendition of one of Ludwig van Beethoven's most cherished favorites. I.V.S. would like to thank patron Rose E. Cook for sponsoring Mr. McCullough on the November concerts.
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's fiery, symphonic poem, Francesca da Rimini, Symphonic FantasyAfter Dante, op. 32, depicts the tragic tale of Francesca da Rimini, a beauty who was immortalized in Dante's Divine Comedy.
