Vista Philharmonic Orchestra – Opening Night at the Philharmonic

Vista Philharmonic Orchestra – Opening Night at the Philharmonic

 

We’re kicking off the season with a trio of crowd-pleasers that will fill the hall with the Vista Philharmonic’s sound – big, dynamic, and impactful pieces our musicians love to play. We’ll open with a bright, bouncy, and energetic curtain raiser by one of Maestro Hangen’s favorite contemporary composers, Adolphus Hailstork. Saint-Saëns exquisite, rich, and romantic Cello Concerto follows, in the deft hands of concerto competition-winning cellist Nathaniel Taylor, who returns this season as a featured soloist. Rachmaninoff’s second Symphony closes out the program with a powerful, bold, and exceptionally romantic symphonic experience.

HAILSTORK An American Port of Call

SAINT-SAËNS Cello Concerto No. 1, Nathaniel Taylor, cello

RACHMANINOFF Symphony No.2, op.27, E minor

Music Worcester presents: BACHtoberfest: Peter Krasinski, organ

 

Peter Krasinski performs an afternoon of Bach’s organ works for the second annual BACHtoberfest weekend. The afternoon highlights Bach’s secular and sacred organ works, and continues THE COMPLETE BACH’s annual tradition of recitals for organ. Featuring the Mechanics Hall’s Hook Organ, an institution in Worcester for more than 160 years, this performance allows the listener to experience the robust sound and feeling of a pipe organ. 

In 1863, Elias and George Hook began the installation of the custom-built instrument, fit perfectly for the Great Hall. The Hook Organ is made up of 3,504 pipes and 52 stops. Listeners flock to hear this organ played, both for its history and for its intensity and story. Hear the Great Hall fill with sound at this afternoon organ recital.
