Windham Philharmonic concert

Symphony of Siblings
or, Why Can’t We All Get Along? — and, We Can!

An Evening of Liberation

The Windham Philharmonic closes its season on Monday, June 1 with an adventurous evening, designed to provoke, inspire, and delight: six orchestral movements, six composers, six moods. Watch us invent a Symphony that doesn’t exist!

1)  Nielsen’s Fifth Symphony, mvmt 1—thrilling, sublime and combative, with solo snare drum.

2) Bruckner’s slow movement from his Sixth Symphony offers Peace after Grieving: we all know there is so much to grieve.

3) Stravinsky’s Circus Polka We lighten the mood with some extravagant ridiculousness: —

4) Von Weber’s tiny, quicksilver scherzo from his Second Symphony calls from on stage ‘Catch me if you can!’

5) Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No. 4 (not the graduation march) ties up all the loose ends: Resolution.

6) And our evening closes with the finale of Beethoven’s ballet (but no elephants) The Creatures of Prometheus: a dancing rondo, an Envoi, a door held warmly open: have an enchanted, enchanting evening!

The Windham Philharmonic offers some serious matters, a little adventure, much variety and fun, and, we promise you, magic, and an encore. Please do come!
