TBSO presents Bridging the Distance
March 3, 2023 @ 7:30 pm
$25Though written at roughly the same time, the symphonies of Weill and Prokofiev are remarkably contrasting. Could it be because the two young composers came from countries on opposing sides of WWI? Join us as we explore these two pieces side by side – something that could never have occurred a century ago. TBSO Principal Timpanist Kevin Brohman is featured on Oesterle’s piece for solo vibraphone and strings and Tüür’s “Action-Passion-Illusion” serves as neutral sacred – a musical no man’s land – between the two symphonies.
Kurt Weill: Symphony No.1 Michael Oesterle: Kaluza Klein —intermission—Erkki-Sven Tüür: Action-Passion-Illusion Sergei Prokofiev: Symphony No.1 in D major, Op. 25 “Classical”
