Marc Broussard – Time is a Thief Tour
with kendra morris on support
Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Marc Broussard is an artist with a unique gift of channeling the spirits of classic R&B, rock, and soul into contemporary terms.
The son of Louisiana Hall of Fame guitarist Ted Broussard of “The Boogie Kings,” he nurtured his musical gifts at an early age in the vibrant Lafayette, Louisiana music scene. After releasing a highly successful independent EP at age 20, Broussard made his major-label debut with Carencro. The album featured the breakout hit single “Home” and catapulted him into the national spotlight. The Louisiana-born and raised artist has created a wide range of music in his career. Carencro laid the groundwork with unequaled style, illustrating his knack for modern soul music and setting the stage for his long and distinguished career. That album and the others that followed solidified Broussard as a southern soul singer with a rarefied talent and an innate stylistic and emotional authenticity that have made him one of the most indelible artists of his generation. NPR cited, “His music radiates soulful Louisiana blues, but his songs blend those influences with raucous rock ‘n’ roll to create unique and infectious music.”

Vista Philharmonic Orchestra – Remarkable Origins
Thompson, Stefan – Forward, Upward, Onward, Together (World Premiere)
Bartok, Bela – Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta
Dvorak, Antonin – Cello Concerto
Special guest:
Nicholas Canellakis, cello
Our March program celebrates the global travels and diverse influences of some of our favorite composers, creating a rich tapestry of sound that will be meaningful for both the orchestra players and our audience. Czech composer Antonín Dvořák spent three years in America (from 1892-1895) as director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York City, which is where he composed his great Cello Concerto. We’ll be joined by guest cellist Nicholas Canellakis, a multifaceted artist who appears regularly with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Hungarian composer Béla Bartók was well known in America as a pianist, teacher, and ethnomusicologist, and his Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is one of his most popular compositions. We’ll open the concert with a world premiere symphonic work from young Bahamian composer Stefan Thompson, a recent Boston Conservatory graduate, now studying for a PhD in Screen Scoring at New York University. The work’s title, Forward, Upward, Onward, Together, comes from the motto of the Bahamas.

Copland: Quiet City
The Tender Land Suite
Czech composer Antonin Dvorak visited America in the last decade of the Nineteenth Century and was inspired to write his “Symphony from the New World” in which he incorporated melodies from African American spirituals including the elegiac “Going Home March”in the famous second movement Largo. Although the rest of the symphony has nothing specifically “American” in its thematic material, Dvorak created a tapestry of symphony that captured the spirit and energy – and the vastness of horizon and possibility that he found here in the New World. One of THE most popular symphonies of all time, we pair it on this evening with works of born and bred composers and voices of that New World – Aaron Copland – who is as American as Apple Pie, and native New Englander, Charles Ives – who was “ahead of his time” but comfortable now in this century! His Third Symphony is a homage to the austerity, discipline and ethic of our New England forebears.
