IRIS Orchestra presents
Midori
George Bizet, the composer of Carmen-
arguably the most popular Romantic
opera in the canon-wrote his Brilliant
Symphony No. 1 just after his 17th
birthday. The Beauty of this precocious
work caused a sensation, and Bizet
found himself compared favorably to a
young Mozart. Lost for 8 decades, it was
given its first performance in 1935, and
has been a gem of the orchestral reper-
toire ever since. Elliot Carter, a major
force in American music who contin-
ued to compose almost until his recent
death at the age of 103, announced him-
self to the world as a symphonist with
his tonal, patriotic, even giddy Sympho-
ny No 1. This premiered at the height
of WW II, a remarkable creation from
a true American original. The beloved
artist MIDORI, a violin powerhouse
since her own teenage years, returns to
IRIS to perform Mendelssohn’s Violin
Concerto. Bus leaves at 1:30 pm.
