This program brings you two very different concerts...in the first, Johannes Brahms' A German Requiem is performed in stirring fashion by Charlotte-based choral group Vox and The Firebird Sinfonia. The second concert's highlights are supplied by the Western Piedmont Symphony, with two impressive works by Antonio Vivaldi and favorites by Scott Joplin and Ottorino Respighi. It's a Carolina Live with great variety, so be sure to listen.
This program featuring the Western Piedmont Symphony begins with a world premiere: Winston-Salem-based composer Dan Locklair's Symphony No. 2 was premiered by the orchestra, and you'll hear that. Then we hear a different concert by the group—it's titled Homecoming, and among the treats you'll hear are Robert Schumann's Violin Concerto in A-minor and Alexander Borodin's Symphony No. 2 in B-minor. Fine music from a fine orchestra, so please join us.
