 Concertmaster Alice Hallstrom’s violin opens the concert on a quiet note that builds throughout Ralph Vaughan-Williams’ exquisitely melodic, pastoral, and quintessentially English work.

Jean Sibelius’ good-natured and deceptively uncomplicated-sounding Symphony No. 3 is a turning point from his first two intensely romantic and nationalistic symphonies to his later, more austere and complex symphonic works. The second half reveals an early 20th century overture by the underplayed (and under-recognized) New York born, Berlin trained composer Helen Crane. We bookend the program with another English composer, BAFTA Award-winning film composer Richard Harvey (The DaVinci Code) whose beloved Concerto Antico is a stunning contemporary Baroque showcase for guest soloist Scott Hill’s guitar.

Salem Philharmonic Series - Vivaldi Gloria

02-08-2026 3:00 pm
Combined Choirs, Salem High School and Peabody High School Vivaldi composed this Gloria in Venice, probably in 1715, for the choir of the Ospedale della Pieta, an orphanage for girls. Vivaldi, a priest, music teacher and virtuoso violinist, composed many sacred works for the Ospedale, where he spent most of his career, as well as hundreds of instrumental concertos to be played by the girls’ orchestra. This, his most famous choral piece, presents the traditional Gloria from the Latin Mass in twelve varied cantata-like sections.
