Program:

Jessie Montgomery - Banner

Ralph Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis

W.A. Mozart - Sinfonia concertante in E-flat major, K.364/320d

NOCCO’s 10th Anniversary Season opens with Jessie Montgomery’s Banner, a dynamic and vibrant reimagining of the national anthem that seamlessly blends elements of jazz, classical, and African American spirituals, creating a powerful and contemporary statement. Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis follows. This lush and evocative piece will envelope you in its rich harmonies and serene, meditative string textures. The performance will conclude with Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major, where the interplay between the solo violin and viola, supported by the orchestra, showcases Mozart's masterful ability to balance elegance and emotional depth. Soloists Elisa Barston (violin) and Susan Gulkis Assadi (viola) will leave you in awe with their technical prowess and expressive sensitivity.

Seattle Symphony Orchestra Tchaikovsky’s 4th

Be moved by Tchaikovsky’s poignant journey from high drama to triumph. The composer brought new emotional intensity to his Fourth Symphony and created a masterpiece for the ages. Then, Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G sparkles in the hands of scintillating pianist Alexandra Dariescu — its whip-cracking wit, sad waltz and jazz-infused charms combining to make one of the best-loved concertos. New Zealand conductor Tianyi Lu returns to our podium for this program that also features Kaija Saariaho’s depiction of the music of the spheres as they wheel through the night skies — imagery that has entranced composers through the ages and a recurring theme of this season.

Seattle Symphony Orchestra-Ravel & Shostakovich

Shostakovich’s Eighth Symphony dates from the darkest days of the Second World War, when making music scarcely seemed possible. He dedicated it to all victims of oppression. Conductor Emeritus Ludovic Morlot begins a season-long celebration marking 150 years since Maurice Ravel’s birth with Concerto for the Left Hand. Composed for Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm in World War I, Ravel’s concerto spans the expressive power of the whole keyboard and bubbles with dark energy. We also salute the centenary of musical powerhouse Pierre Boulez.

Grammy-winning conductor Karen Kamensek leads a diverse program that spans the globe. Jan Lisiecki, whose playing is “pristine, lyrical and intelligent” (The New York Times), commands the stage with the distinctive lush melodies and rhythmic energy of Prokofiev’s Second Piano Concerto. The haunting and majestic themes of William Walton make his First Symphony one of the great 20th-century orchestral works.

NOCCO - Evoke

Embark on a captivating musical odyssey as our winter solstice concert unfolds, presenting a harmonious fusion of masterpieces across eras. Johann Sebastian Bach's exultant Jauchzet Gott in Allen Landen, BWV 51 opens the performance, its intricate Baroque tapestry weaving soprano splendor into the orchestral fabric, exuding devotion and jubilation. Transitioning seamlessly, Ellen T. Zwilich's contemporary Concerto Grosso 1985 takes the stage, a vibrant interplay between soloists and ensemble, evoking a modernistic landscape through its intricate motifs and expressive contrasts. The journey crescendos with Igor Stravinsky's Danses concertantes, where neoclassical rhythms entwine with avant-garde flair, offering a vivacious collage of dance-inspired motifs that bridge the past and present in a harmonious musical celebration.
