Combining lush harmonies with a modernist sparkle, Glazunov’s Saxophone Concerto of 1934 showcases alto saxophone soloist Nick Pelton. The program closes with Dvořák’s Jarní (Spring), a brief, jubilant celebration of renewal and blossoming energy for orchestra and our guest soloists. Visual art and music meet in Pedro Pereira’s Cubist-inspired poster, expertly suggesting the playful, multifaceted musical journey awaiting the audience. Music Through a Prism is a concert of vibrant orchestral sound, inventive programming, played by soloists celebrated and beloved by local audiences.
