Repertoire:

Igor Stravinsky: Dumbarton OaksAndrea Casarrubios: HerenciaLouise Farrenc: Symphony No. 3

This concert will be approximately 1hr, no intermission. Reception with the musicians to follow.

Breaking Barriers begins with Dumbarton Oaks, Igor Stravinsky’s witty and elegant chamber concerto inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos. Herencia (“Heritage”) by Andrea Casarrubios is a deeply personal reflection on memory, identity, and cultural roots. Drawing inspiration from the composer’s Spanish heritage, the work weaves lyrical melodies and evocative textures into a poignant musical tribute to the traditions and stories that span generations. We conclude our program with Louise Farrenc’s Symphony No. 3. Completed in 1847, it is widely regarded as the crowning achievement of her orchestral output. Blending Classical balance with Romantic intensity, the work showcases a command of orchestral color, dramatic structure, and lyrical invention that affirms her place among the leading symphonic composers of her era.
