Saturday, 7:30 p.m. to Sunday, 2:00 p.m. Aziz Shokhakimov, conductor Simon Trpčeski, piano SMETANA: Overture to The Bartered Bride GINASTERA: Concierto argentino ALBÉNIZ: Rapsodia española DVOŘÁK: Symphony No. 8 in G Major, Op. 88 This vibrant program pairs two Czech and two Hispanic composers in a celebration of rhythm, melody, and joy – music shimmering with sunlight, laughter, and dance. Smetana’s Overture to The Bartered Bride, one of the most beloved comic operas ever written, bursts with the folk rhythms of Bohemian village life. Its vivacious energy and dazzling counterpoint made it a worldwide favorite, effervescent as a glass of musical champagne. From Argentina, the youthful Alberto Ginastera’s Concierto argentino pulses with the sounds of 1930s Buenos Aires – café chatter, street music, and fiery dance rhythms. Rediscovered decades after the composer’s death, it radiates exuberance and charm. Spain’s Isaac Albéniz brings his country's flamenco soul to life in Rapsodia española, blending piano and orchestra in a rich evocation of Roma inspired song and dance. Its sensual rhythms and glowing colors celebrate a culture born of migration and resilience. The program concludes with Dvořák’s luminous Symphony No. 8, overflowing with melodies inspired by birdsong, rolling hills, and Bohemian village life. In its joyous finale – a kaleidoscope of waltzes, fanfares, and rustic celebration – Dvořák creates one of the most life affirming symphonies ever written.
