Dear Symphony Music Lovers and Lifelong Learners,
It's time for our next online music class with Professor Don Adkins to prepare us for the Kaleidoscopes concerts on April 30 and May 1.
At this class we'll have a very special guest: Maestro Danny Stewart!
Professor Don Adkins will lead a 90-minute class on Monday evening April 18, 2022 at 7 pm. The Kaleidoscopes concert features a world premiere of an original composition by Josef Sekon, and Maestro Danny Stewart will join the class to talk about this piece.
Professor Don will also dive into:
Max Bruch’s Kol Nidrei: we will hear the original Aramaic theme and how Bruch used this as the basis for his composition. Our outstanding principal cellist Jonah Kim will be featured in this work at the concerts.
Camille Saint-Saëns' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso: this piece was written for a violin virtuoso and will be performed by the recent Klein winner Julian Rhee. We will identify its two main musical themes.
Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures At An Exhibition: We'll conduct a timely exploration of this piece, which culminates with “The Great Gate of Kiev.”
Allow up to 90 minutes for this presentation, which will go into much greater depth than time allows at Don’s preview presentations before the concerts. We will record this class for those for whom the presentation is not convenient to your schedule so that you can view the recording ahead of the concert. As always, we are delighted to be able to enhance your concert-going and musical experience through Don’s expertise.
Again, there will be only one class presented on Monday April 18 at 7 pm. A recording will be available two days later if you are unable to attend the live class. The cost of this class is $20.

Please join your Symphony friends for this excellent class! We look forward to seeing you!
