ABOUT THE NOVEMBER CONCERTS

Come celebrate new beginnings with the Bainbridge Symphony Orchestra as we welcome our new Music Director and Conductor, Wesley Schulz. The BSO kicks off the 2011 – 2012 season in a concert laden with high energy, celebratory works. Gypsy music pervades the program with its highly melodious and spirited qualities. Indeed gypsy music has long influenced composers: Brahms uses gypsy tunes in many of his works for orchestra, Carmen of Bizet’s opera is a gypsy character with powerful seductive powers, and Rachmaninoff pays homage to the gypsy spirit in his Caprice for orchestra. Amidst these stirring pieces is a beautiful new work, here transcribed for strings from the original band setting, by living composer Eric Whitacre that celebrates the spirit of the month of October. Another work for strings, Sibelius’ Andante Festivo, was the last work Sibelius ever conducted in public and will begin the second half of this evening’s concert.
