SUMMARY:Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana &  Saint-Säens Organ Symphony
DESCRIPTION:This concert is a community-collaborative concert presenting over 120 local artists spanning 4 generations! \nThe performance includes two masterworks and audience favorites\, Carmina Burana by Carl Orff and Organ Symphony by Saint Saens with featured soloists Amy Cross\, Thomas Gunther\, and Kelly Hale. The artists of the GLCO Orchestra\, GLCO Chorus\, the Little Traverse Choral Society led by Andre Strydom\, and Great Lakes Children ’s Choir led by Amy Cross will join forces to create this special night at the historic John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View.  \nThis is a unique opportunity to hear these masterpieces as they both require a large performance force and thus are not presented very often. Carmina Burana was last performed in our community over a decade ago and is fondly remembered by our residents to this day. The Saint Saens’ Organ Symphony is one of the rare works that incorporates the “King of the instruments” into the fabric of the score. The organ at the John M. Hall Auditorium is a majestic instrument by Pilcher with all the stops at the disposal to recreate the soundscape of the Organ Symphony masterfully performed by a virtuoso organist Kelly Hale.  \nThe concert carries a true community spirit and will leave a long-lasting impact on audiences and artists alike. You don’t want to miss it! ~ Kathy Schroeder\, GLCO Vice-President & Community Arts Supporter \nABOUT | Kelly Hale\, Organ Soloist \nTickets | $35 — $45 — $65 \nGET TICKETS

SUMMARY:From Bohemia's Woods & Groves
DESCRIPTION:Prepare to be captivated by the enchanting melodies and virtuosic performances at our summer-opening concert! 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

Shackleton was one of the principal figures in the age of Antarctic exploration and our story focuses on Shackleton’s amazing traits of leadership. In this heroic tale\, he brought all of his men back from 21 months of seemingly endless points of peril\, to survive against all odds. Musical selections from classical to 20th century orchestral masterpieces represent these leadership traits including a sense of purpose\, loyalty\, optimism\, flexibility\, ingenuity\, and responsibility. Audiences are given an immersive musical experience as they watch the story of Shackleton unfold through the series of scenes with both live actors on stage as well as original film footage captured by filmmaker and photographer Frank Hurley.  \nShackleton’s ship\, Endurance\, became trapped in the ice in January 1915 and remained stuck until October\, when the ice closed in and crushed it. Shackleton and his men then camped on the ice until April 1916 (for over a year!)\, when the floe broke up\, and they were forced to sail in three lifeboats to Elephant Island. Almost 500 days had passed since they had stood on dry land. At that point\, Shackleton and a few of his men made the 800-mile journey in a tiny boat\, the James Caird\, back to South Georgia\, where he got help and returned to Elephant Island to rescue his crew- and miraculously\, after nearly two years shipwrecked\, every single one of them had survived. \nThe Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra’s “Legends & Mysteries” educational concert series combines history\, music and so much more. The presentation of live video\, theater\, and exhilarating orchestral music truly illustrates associative learning by helping to connect ideas and experiences that will promote intellectual curiosity as the audience learns more about the music\, the history and the people who are involved in making both.

SUMMARY:Messiah- Annual Holiday Concert
DESCRIPTION:Per our decade long tradition\, the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra will celebrate the holiday concert season with the performance of Handel’s masterpiece Messiah. The first half of the concert features the GLCO choir and soloists in Oratorio de Noel by Camille Saint-Saëns\, setting the mood for the Christmas story. Saint-Saëns’ Oratorio is an intimate work blending a number of musical styles—narrative recitatives\, folk-like melodies\, passionate operatic solo passages\, and simple choral writing. It was composed in 1858\, when the Church of the Madeleine in Paris commissioned Camille Saint-Saëns to write work for that year’s Christmas celebration. The concert concludes with the first and second sections of Handel’s famous oratorio Messiah\, ending with the celebratory and beloved Hallelujah chorus. \nClick below to hear the Hallelujah chorus section from 2019’s Messiah: \n \nGET TICKETS
