Program Notes
Thrill to this collection of popular favorites ranging from John William’s stirring music for “Harry Potter” to Borodin’s lovely “Polovtsian Dances” perhaps better known as the inspiration for the song “Stranger in Paradise” from the musical “Kismet.” Alexander Arutunian’s “Concerto for Trumpet” is a spectacular, crowd-pleasing composition, often used for auditions by trumpet players. The evening concludes appropriately with Tchaikovsky’s final symphony, the “Pathétique.”
