Masterworks 6 - The Real Virtuosi of the SC Phil 4/2/2011 Saturday, 7:30 p.m. Koger Center for the Arts Mary Lee Taylor Kinosian, violin Rebecca Nagel, oboe Repertoire: Barber - Adagio for Strings Dedicated to the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan Respighi - Trittico Botticelliano Bach - Concerto for Violin and Oboe Mary Lee Taylor Kinosian, violin Rebecca Nagel, oboe Weill - Little Threepenny Music Mozart - Symphony No. 35, 'Haffner' The Real Virtuosi of the SC Phil: not “real housewives,” and not dramatic. Just really, really good. SCP Concertmaster Mary Lee Taylor Kinosian and Principal Oboe Rebecca Nagel are supremely gifted, and for one evening they’re stepping out as featured soloists to perform the Bach Concerto for Violin and Oboe.
Music Director Morihiko Nakahara rounds out the exciting program with Respighi’s Trittico Botticelliano, a suite from Kurt Weill’s Threepenny Opera and Mozart’s masterful “Haffner” Symphony. Thoughts from Morihiko: “Over the last two seasons with the SC Phil, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the finest musicians in the region and getting to know them both musically and personally. This concert is a celebration of our musical family and a perfect vehicle to showcase the virtuosity, versatility and teamwork of our musicians. Inspired by three of Botticelli’s paintings, Respighi composed a delightful suite filled with brilliant orchestral colors and gorgeous melodies.
No strings attached – well, maybe except for the banjo. That’s the case of Kurt Weill’s witty suite taken from his popular Threepenny Opera, scored for a “cabaret” band complete with an accordion. Beloved concertmaster Mary Lee Taylor and principal oboist Rebecca Nagel take the center stage for the Bach. Mozart’s masterful and technically demanding Haffner Symphony brings the evening to an exhilarating close.” Tickets on sale now: $44, $36, $26, $16 or $12.
