The University of Tennessee Symphony has announced its schedule of concerts for the 2009-2010 season, and a really intriguing one it is.
The season begins on Sunday afternoon, September 27 at 4:00 pm, with A Few Words About Music..., a program centered on the spoken and unspoken word. Under Maestro James Fellenbaum, the orchestra will begin the concert with Samuel Barber's Essay for Orchestra. Following the Barber, will be The Kisses of a Pearl, a song cycle by KSO Music Director Lucas Richman, to be sung by School of Music faculty tenor Andrew Skoog. The concert will conclude with two well-known narrated works: Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, and Benjamin Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra.
The presence on the program of the Barber is interesting in that KSO concertgoers will have heard that composer's Knoxville: Summer of 1915 earlier in the weekend.
The November concert (Sunday, November 1, at 4:00 pm) is titled The Music of Great Britain. That concert will feature two works by Sir Malcolm Arnold, Four Scottish Dances and the Double Concerto for Two Violins and Strings. The violin soloists will be faculty violinists Mark Zelmanovich and Miroslav Hristov. The fabulous Enigma Variations of Edward Elgar will conclude that program.
The orchestral schedule picks up again in February with Orchestral Romance on Valentine's Day at 8:00 pm. That program will open with Giuseppe Verdi's Overture to La Forza del Destino, and Piotr Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 2. Also featured on the program is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, K. 622, featuring School of Music clarinet faculty member Gary Sperl.
March will feature the annual concert of concertos and arias from the winners of the annual UT Concerto Competition. Also on that program is Beethoven's Egmont Overture. The concert is on March 21, 2010, at 4:00 pm.
