Fall Pacific Philharmonic Orchestra Concert
Body
Friday November 20th, 7.30pm McCready Hall
Under the direction of Kevin A. Lefohn, the Pacific Philharmonic presents a vibrant program featuring works by Bohemian-born Johann Stamitz and twentieth-century British composers Benjamin Britten and Peter Warlock. Stamitz’s charming Symphony in G Major “Mannheim” showcases the dramatic contrasts and orchestral innovations that helped shape the Classical symphony. Drawing on melodies he composed as a child, Britten’s spirited Simple Symphony, Op. 4, combines playful energy with lyrical warmth, while Warlock’s colorful and fiery Capriol Suite brings the dances of the Renaissance vividly to life through imaginative harmonies and driving rhythms.
