Music is a powerful medium to embody the idea of celebration. The repertoire in this concert conveys just this. From the flourishing excitement and pulsing rhythms of Machine; to the fantastic passion and style of Danzon No. 2; through the suspense and drive of Escapades; and finally, to the lush, beautiful harmonies of Scheherazade, each composition, in it’s own and very unique as well as programmatic way, embodies the joyous idea of celebration.
