Taking place at the historic John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View\, this musical extravaganza promises an unforgettable evening of classical brilliance. \nAt the heart of the concert is the spellbinding performance of Samuel Barber‘s timeless masterpiece\, the Violin Concerto\, delivered by the award-winning virtuoso\, Dylana Jenson (the first American woman to win the Tchaikovsky International competition). Composed in 1939\, Barber’s concerto encompasses three breathtaking movements. The first two movements overflow with lyrical beauty and irresistible melodies\, drawing listeners into a world of unparalleled emotion. Yet\, it is the grand finale that sets hearts racing\, as the music races forward with unyielding intensity. With every note\, the solo violin dances in perpetual motion\, navigating intricate rhythmic complexities and astonishing virtuosity. \nIn addition to Barber’s masterwork\, the concert embraces the Bohemian spirit through Antonín Dvořák‘s magnificent Symphony No. 8. Written in the key of G major\, this symphony exudes a genial and uplifting atmosphere\, captivating audiences from the first note. However\, upon closer examination\, one discovers the hidden allure of the minor-key passages woven seamlessly throughout the major-key composition. The Eighth Symphony\, heralded for its innovation\, marked a departure from Dvořák’s previous works. The composer sought to craft a musical experience that was distinctly individual and pioneering. By infusing his adoration for the Czech countryside into the symphony\, Dvořák created a unique sonic landscape. Nature comes alive within the music\, as the haunting calls of hunting horns and the melodies of birdsongs emerge from various wind instruments. Hanz-Hubert Schönzeler\, Dvořák’s biographer\, once remarked “When one walks in those forests surrounding Dvořák’s country home on a sunny summer’s day\, with the birds singing and the leaves of trees rustling in a gentle breeze\, one can virtually hear the music.” \nUnder the masterful guidance of GLCO’s esteemed Maestro Libor Ondras\, the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra is set to transport you on a remarkable musical journey. Be prepared to be whisked away into the depths of Bohemia’s woods and groves\, where each note resonates with beauty\, passion\, and the very essence of nature itself. This concert promises to be an extraordinary celebration of the boundless power of music. \nLearn more about Dylana Jenson\, featured violin soloist\, here. \nGET TICKETS URL:https://glcorchestra.org/concert/bohemia/ LOCATION:John M.

We will bring you back to this magical city and let you experience what it was like to hear Mozart’s and Beethoven’s pieces for the first time. \nMozart must have loved his time in Prague\, where he finally received the recognition he felt he deserved but never quite achieved in the more staid\, aristocratic Vienna. His love affair with the Bohemian city began in January 1787\, a month or so after a production of his Le Nozze di Figaro\, which had had taken Prague by storm. Mozart brought with him on his visit the newly completed Symphony No. 38\, which he had written in the city’s honor\, and this too met with tremendous enthusiasm from the public and enjoyed repeated performances. He left with a commission in hand for another opera— one that would have its premiere in Prague. The new opera was to become Don Giovanni and was premiered in Prague’s Estate theatre on October 29\, 1787. The second half of the concert is dedicated to Beethoven’s Piano concerto No. 1. It is speculated that the concerto was performed in June 1796 at the Berlin court\, in December 1796 in a private concert for the cousins Romberg\, in 1798 at two concerts in Prague\, and April 2\, 1800 in the Burgtheater in Vienna. The Prague performance is the only one to have been confirmed without speculation. \n \nFor more information about featured piano soloist Lorenzo Marasso\, you can visit his website at lorenzomarasso.com. \n  \nGET TICKETS \n  \n\nSpecial thanks to the Charlevoix County Community Foundation for sponsoring this performance URL:https://glcorchestra.org/concert/pragues-treasures/ LOCATION:Great Lakes Center for the Arts\, 800 Bay Harbor Dr.\, Petoskey\, Michigan\, 49770 CATEGORIES:Classical Music,Concerts,Fundraiser ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://glcorchestra.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/glco_posterConcertSeries2205v9_Prague.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20220621T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20220621T210000 DTSTAMP:20260421T175930 CREATED:20220303T174918Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220418T114532Z UID:10000120-1655830800-1655845200@glcorchestra.org SUMMARY:2022 Crescendo - Annual GLCO Fundraiser DESCRIPTION:The Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra is an important part of why our northern Michigan community is considered one of the “best places to live” – adding to the quality of life for our families and the broader community. \nThe Orchestra is supported by just one fundraising event annually\, Crescendo\, a gala event featuring entertainment\, hors d’ouevres\, cocktails\, a sit-down dinner\, live auctions and more.
