Serenades and Symphonies
To open the Arizona Philharmonic’s sixth season, we have a pair of Czech composers from two generations. Dvořák’s Wind Serenade, comes from 1878, a time when he was first achieving international fame. It is filled to the brim with Czech/Bohemian musical flavor. Martinů’s engaging Sinfonietta “La Jolla” was composed in 1950, when he was living in United States. This is very much a work of the 20th century, but it also reflects the folk music of his native land. We close with one of the brightest of Beethoven’s nine symphonies, the vivacious Symphony No. 4.
As an additional highlight, Arizona Philharmonic will premiere two orchestral miniatures written with Lincoln Elementary School second graders during an Arizona Philharmonic spring 2023 residency offered in collaboration with the Highlands Center for Natural History and Prescott Unified School District.
