Tales and Dances

Ferst Center for the Arts

Dr. Matthew Wardell, Conductor

 

For their second concert, the GT Concert Orchestra presents a selection of pieces with Czech origins. They will begin with the second of Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances, followed by The Moldau, which is the most enduring of six symphonic poems in Smetana’s symphonic cycle Má vlast (“My Fatherland”), evoking the stories and landscapes of the composer’s homeland in Bohemia. Next up is the second movement of Beethoven’s seventh symphony, which was written during his stay in the Bohemian town of Teplice; the work itself is poignant in every sense, with a stirring processional rhythm that commemorates the struggles and triumphs endured by war veterans. The evening will conclude with the third of Smetana’s symphonic poems, Šárka.
