SUMMARY:Anne Akiko Meyers Plays Ravel
DESCRIPTION:There is something for everyone in these energetic concerts! Be among the first to hear a new showpiece for violin\, The Pacific Has No Memory\, composed by Eric Whitacre and commissioned by Latin Grammy-winning violinist Anne Akiko Meyers. Meyers\, “the coolest thing to happen to the violin since Stradivari” (Denver Post)\, also performs Ravel’s fiery Tzigane. Music Director Peter Oundjian opens the program with Copland’s idyllic tribute to the American heartland\, Appalachian Spring\, and concludes with one of the most recognizable pieces of music ever written: the achingly romantic Fantasy-Overture to Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet.

SUMMARY:Brahms 1 + Joan Tower’s World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:These can’t-miss concerts bring together two Festival favorites: lauded composer Joan Tower\, whose concerto A New Day premiered at the Festival to rave reviews\, and saxophonist Steven Banks\, who stunned audiences in 2021. Now these powerhouses unite to give the world premiere of Tower’s saxophone concerto Love Returns under the baton of Music Director Peter Oundjian. After intermission\, the Festival Orchestra performs Brahms’ brilliant First Symphony\, which helped the composer step out of Beethoven’s shadow; critic Eduard Hanslick claimed that “…even the layman will immediately recognize it as one of the most distinctive and magnificent works of the symphonic literature.”

SUMMARY:Gabriela Lena Frank’s World Premiere
DESCRIPTION:Be the first to experience a brand new concerto by Gabriela Lena Frank\, heralded as one of the most significant women composers in history by the Washington Post. Kachkaniraqmi (“I Still Exist”) was commissioned by the Festival and will be performed by Boulder’s Grammy-winning Takács Quartet as ensemble-soloist alongside the Orchestra. After intermission\, Joan Tower’s brilliant Concerto for Orchestra allows for great moments of individual virtuosity\, but ultimately it is the entire Orchestra that shines. “I had imagined a long and large landscape that had a feeling of space and distance\,” Tower says of her Concerto for Orchestra\, in which the music “travels a long road.” This program celebrates three generations of women composers and opens with Florence Price’s Adoration\, originally conceived for solo organ and performed here in its stunning arrangement for strings.
