Description
The New Amsterdam Symphony Orchestra welcomes back guest conductor Georgia Mills for its spring concert, opening with Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Ballade for Orchestra, an early work full of ravishing melodies and lush string moments that owes its existence to Coleridge-Taylor's mentor, Sir Edward Elgar. Next, violinist Raina Arnett performs Maruice Ravel's Tzigane, a rhapsodic work inspired by the Hungarian violin virtuoso Jelly D’Arányi. The concert concludes with Antonin Dvorák's popular Symphony No. 8, which reflects the composer's admiration for natural beauty and his fondness for Czech and Slavonic folk music.
