SUMMARY:Copland: Clarinet Concerto & Hoedown
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning clarinetist Jeanmarie Riccobono takes centre stage in Aaron Copland’s jazzy Clarinet Concerto. Jeanmarie is the principal clarinetist in the Traverse Symphony Orchestra and teaches clarinet at Northwestern Michigan College and the Bay View Music Festival.\nThe renowned jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman asked Copland to compose a work for him. The result was a two-movement concerto: the first section is one of Copland’s most lyrical and melodious creations; the second is in an all-out jazzy style. The movements are connected by a cadenza for the soloist. \nThe concert will also include Copeland’s Hoedown from Rodeo\, Debussy’s Dances Sacred & Profane\, and Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte. Originally composed in 1942 for a ballet called Rodeo\, Hoedown features two American square dance tunes and evokes the energy and adventure of the American pioneering spirit.\nCellist Lena Sytsma-Reed\, winner of the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra’s 17th Annual Young Artist Competition\, will be performing Haydn’s Cello Concert No 1. \n\nBUY TICKETS

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

SUMMARY:Beethoven Symphony No. 9 Concert
DESCRIPTION:Always a popular concert\, Beethoven’s 9th Symphony is sure to be a crowd favorite\, according to Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra Music Director Libor Ondras. \nAccording to Ondras\, the famous pianissimo opening — 16 measures with no secure sense of key or rhythm – does not so much depict the journey from darkness to light\, or from chaos to order\, as the birth of sound itself. \n“There’s something astonishing about a deaf composer choosing to open a symphony with music that reveals\, like no other music before it\, the very essence of sound emerging from silence\,” Ondras explained. “This symphony shows Beethoven using all the subtlety and mastery of his craft\, a breakthrough work— music’s first crossover composition. It’s also likely that in the text he picked for the symphony’s finale— Schiller’s hymn to universal brotherhood—Beethoven found the sense of community he craved as a comfort against personal loss and loneliness.” \n  \nAccording to Ondras\, Beethoven’s grandest symphony and most influential composition was premiered in the concert on May 7\, 1824. By 1824\, Beethoven was almost completely deaf. He had long given up performing on piano in public\, withdrawing completely from social life of Viennese society. When\, in one of the most famous accounts in all music\, the audience burst into applause (some say it was at the end of the scherzo; others at the end of the symphony) Beethoven couldn’t hear the ovation. He stood\, his back to the crowd\, leafing through his score. Only when the contralto soloist\, Carolyn Unger\, tapped him on the shoulder and turned him around did he see his public applauding wildly. \n  \nThe work surpassed everything Beethoven already accomplished in the field of the symphony. With his 9th he was determined to move mankind as never before. For several years after Beethoven’s death\, his 9th Symphony was considered too difficult to perform. It was not established in the repertory until the middle of the 19th century\, and from then on\, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony has maintained its singular status as a cultural symbol of unsurpassed importance.
