The Evening Concert

And tonight those are Tchaikovsky's "Violin Concerto" and Dvorak's "New World Symphony".

"I am Richard Strauss". That's an exact quote from the composer heard by US troops when he answered the knock on his door by US troops during WWII.

Tonight between 7 and 9 pm you have an opportunity to directly pledge support for the "Evening Concerrt" series, and, of course, other WILL programs that you have in your life.

Tonight's "Evening Concert" is an eclectic program with complete shorter works and excerpts from larger works, recordings Boulez made with the NYP.

Music by Wagner, Bruckner, Strauss, Tchaikovsky and others on the programs.

Also on the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival broadcast Dvorak's "Terzetto" (hence we are using his image on this web page).

Having previously sustained an injury to his left hand, Lang Lang plays the right hand part of the "Rhapsody" while Maxim Lando plays the left hand part.....THAT should be interesting, eh?

The Suite of music from "The Firebird" by Stravinsky comes from his 1910 ballet of the same name...Shostakovich's concerto comes 23 years later.

Haitink guest conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra...

The fine arts producers at the Philharmonic have assembled a program from the archives centered on music of British composers. They call it "Rule, Britannia!"
