Frost Symphony Orchestra Celebrates Centennial Season with American Classics & Brahms' Masterpiece
The Frost Symphony Orchestra opens the Centennial Season with an exciting program featuring works by two great American composers and Brahms’ second symphony.
Charles Griffes, a prominent American representative of musical Impressionism, tragically died at the age of thirty-five. His famous piano work, The White Peacock, written in 1915, was orchestrated one year before his death.
John Corigliano, one of the most significant living American composers, known for his film score for The Red Violin, composed Triathlon, a concerto for saxophone and orchestra, in 2020. Joining Gerard Schwarz and the Frost Symphony Orchestra for the Florida premiere of this virtuosic work is Timothy McAllister, one of today’s most celebrated classical saxophonist. McAllister has been hailed as “a virtuoso” (The New York Times), an “exemplary soloist” (Gramophone Magazine), and “a titan of contemporary music and the instrument in general” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer).
The concert concludes with Johannes Brahms’s beloved second symphony, a staple of the orchestral canon.
