Classical Concert II: THE CLASSICAL TRADITION

WILLIAM BOLCOM Commedia for (Almost) 18th-Century Orchestra
TCHAIKOVSKY Variations on a Rococo Theme
Mark Kosower, cello
MOZART Overture to The Marriage of Figaro
STRAVINSKY Danses Concertantes
Experience different takes on what "classical" music is, rooted in the Classical Era. The Bolcom piece is a fun take on the classical overture that audiences always love. This is followed by Mark Kosower, principal cellist of The Cleveland Orchestra, joining us for Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations, which were inspired by his role model, Mozart. The evening closes with Stravinsky’s brilliantly neoclassical Danses Concertantes.
