The concert will feature the CPS musicians performing Haydn’s Symphony No. 82, the “Praelude” from Grieg’s Holberg Suite, a new one-movement piece by CPS conductor/composer Tim Cummings, and a medley of songs from Broadway’s “Phantom of the Opera.”
“The Haydn symphony and the Grieg piece are wonderful examples of music written to express joy and warmth in a way that brings out joy and warmth in the listener,” Cummings said.
The conductor’s piece, “Emendation for Strings and Two Flutes,” composed this year, is a string chorale “with two flutes floating above it like two swans skimming the surface of a quiet pond,” he said.
The Broadway selection is arranged for full orchestra and includes the title music, and the songs, “Think of Me,” “Angel of Music,” “The Music of the Night,” “Masquerade,” and “All I Ask of You.”
“We’ll probably have some more audience participation,” Cummings said, “so our audience will have a once-in-a-lifetime experience with us … maybe for the second or third time!”
Yes, yes. It is true that I have an idea to enhance the audience's experience of one of our pieces. Not sure if I will tell the musicians beforehand or not.
