Saint- Saens – Introduction and Rondo Cappriccio. Future Star Competition winner Olivia Lee performs with Foothills Philharmonic a work that is in the repertoire of all the great violinists. A fantasy in the Spanish manner, it is full of poetry and lyricism, syncopation and virtuosity with a finale where the violin plays to the point of exhaustion.
Glière – Symphony No. 1 in E flat Major. This powerful symphony is unmistakenly Russian. It starts off light then serious; it combines ballet music with folk songs; then becomes somber and reflective before being dragged back into the light with echoes of the first movement. This symphony is like “moody Russian music on happy pills.”
Loaves and Fishes will be in the lobby where you can learn how you can they rescue surplus food and redistribute it, free of charge, to reduce food insecurity in Greenville County.
