Pacific Symphony: Beethoven's Ninth and a Pair by Frank Ticheli
- Full Price:
- $55.00 - $100.00
- Our Price:
- $22.50 - $50.00
Due to his escalating deafness, Beethoven never heard a note of his monumental Ninth Symphony -- that timeless wonder with "Ode to Joy" woven into its core -- but you need not suffer the same sad fate. For this performance at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Pacific Symphony will bring Beethoven's treasured Ninth back to the stage in all of its moving, soaring, chorus-aided glory. But you can't just jump into something as monumental as the Ninth, so the symphony will open the show with a pair of iconic works by L.A.-based composer Frank Ticheli. Carl St.Clair conducts.

February 23-25, 2012, 8:00p.m. - Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto

Paul Jacobs, organ
Daugherty: Work for organ, brass and percussion (World premiere)
Barber: Adagio for Strings
Daugherty: Radio City (2011) Symphonic Fantasy on Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra in America (American premiere)
Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto
Tchaikovsky’s dazzling violin concerto is a test of skill for any violinist, but Vadim Gluzman, who performed Brahms last season in Orange County, is up to the task. In only eight minutes, Barber’s “Adagio for Strings” will take listeners from the depths of sadness to the heights of joy. And we’ll hear two exciting premieres from Michael Daugherty, including a musical fantasy on the radio broadcasts of Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony in Studio 8-H in New York City's Rockefeller Center (1937-54).

Korean pianist Joyce Yang offers Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto, one of the repertoire’s most powerful, most demanding and most popular works. Rossini’s Semiramide is seldom performed in full, but the overture and arias have received constant acclaim. The Miraculous Mandarin is Bartok at his most colorful and dramatic.

The Symphony offers moving musical experiences with repertoire ranging from the great orchestral masterworks to music from today's most prominent composers, highlighted by the annual American Composers Festival. The Wall Street Journal said, "Carl St.Clair, the Pacific Symphony's dynamic music director, has devoted 19 years to building not only the orchestra's skills but also the audience's trust and musical sophistication so successfully that they can now present some of the most innovative programming in American classical music to its fast-growing, rapidly diversifying community."
