Amit Peled
Amit Peled

Sunday, October 23 • 3:00 p.m.

Program Notes

If you think all English music is excessively “pastoral,” DISCOVER these masterpieces that range from youthful exuberance to mature passion. And our brilliant Israeli cellist will win you over with the extraordinary warmth and intensity that he brings to this great concerto.

ElgarCello Concerto in e minor, Op. 85

Four Great Romantic Nationalists

Alan Heatherington

Sunday, November 13 • 3:00 p.m.

Program Notes

DISCOVER the romantic heights and depths of four favorite works: the dreamily atmospheric children’s prayer of Humperdinck, the fiendishly gleeful Liszt waltz, the broadly majestic Wagner overture and the vividly nationalistic first symphony of Sibelius. Captivating!

Humperdinck Overture to Hansel and Gretel

Liszt Mephisto Waltz No. 1

Sibelius Symphony No. 1 in e minor, Op. 39

A Sunday Serenade

Program Notes

The DISCOVERY of astonishingly gifted young virtuosi is a hallmark of the exciting partnerships between Ars Viva, the Emilio Del Rosario Piano Concerto Competition and the Music Institute of Chicago. Toss in the energetic overture to Prince Igor and one of the most engaging symphonies of Dvorák, and this will be an afternoon to treasure.
