Stage and Screen

Stage, screen & opera collide! Mozart, Copland, Rossini & Purcell light up this vibrant program with soloist Kiwa Mizutani.

A program featuring music from the worlds of theater, opera, and film. Henry Purcell was a prolific composer of incidental music for stage productions, and we present his music to The Married Beau as arranged for modern orchestra by Gustav Holst. From Rossini's William Tell, the orchestra will play the delectable balet music from the opera's third act. Aaron Copland, who wrote several of the 20th century's finest film scores, compiled the suite Music for Movies containing excerpts from The City, Of Mice and Men, and Our Town. The orchestra's esteemed principal keyboardist, Kiwa Mizutani, is the spirited soloist for Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22, a work imbued with the composer's characteristic theatrical genius.
