Violinist Juliana Athayde and pianist Orion Weiss perform Beethoven’s effervescent “Spring” Sonata. Published in 1801, the work finds the composer in game-changing mode as he anticipates the Romantic-era gestures of Mendelssohn and Schumann. From the innocence of the opening Allegro to the joyous Rondo Finale, you can almost smell the Austrian countryside.
In Mothership—a dancing scherzo where improvising soloists “dock” with the orchestral mothership—Music Director Alasdair Neale and the full orchestra will demonstrate why Mason Bates is one of America’s most popular and performed contemporary composers.
