Symphonic Dances
Symphonic Dances

THANK YOU TO THIS MONTH'S SPONSORS
Hear the orchestra dance in this night of catchy rhythms and toe-tapping melodies. We open with the evocative, jazzy, and nostalgic Dances in the Canebrakes by Florence Price, the first African-American woman composer to have her work performed by major orchestras. We will also play Rachmaninoff’s fascinating Symphonic Dances, which was originally intended to be a ballet score, but eventually became a meditation on ecclesiastical chant motifs.
In addition to these pieces, due to programing changes at the February 5th concert, the epic love story of Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe will be played at the March 5th concert.
Florence Price – Dances in the Canebrakes
Sergei Rachmaninoff – Symphonic Dances
