Metrowest Symphony Orchestra March Musical Madness
This concert will take us from the early 19th century right through the 21st century. The earliest written piece is Franz Schubert’s beautiful, sonorous “Concerto for Arpeggione,” which was named for, and was written for, a six-stringed ancestor of today’s modern cello. Soloist Seth MacLeod will play the version for cello and string orchestra.
A worldwide favorite, Charles Gounod’s opera “Faust” (1859) has ballet music as well as song and story. The ballet music was added to the opera ten years after its first performance.
Aaron Copland’s “Quiet City” was originally composed as incidental music for a play by that name by Irwin Shaw. It is now best known as a piece of music separate from the play.
And, commissioned on behalf of the MSO, Richard St. Clair’s new piece “Hello” for orchestra celebrates the collaboration of the Metrowest Symphony Orchestra with Framingham State University.
