Folk Voices and Fantasies: Music Rooted in Culture and Imagination
May 30 | 31 @ 2pm
Guest Soloist: William Yeh,
2025 Sempre Musick Grand Prix Award Winner
Igor Stravinsky: Petrushka
Max Bruch: Scottish Fantasy
Carlos Chávez: Sinfonía India
This concert celebrates folk traditions and cultural storytelling. Chávez’s Sinfonía India (1935–36) incorporates indigenous Mexican melodies and percussion, honoring native heritage with rhythmic vitality. Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy (1880) evokes the spirit of Scotland through folk tunes and Romantic lyricism, with the violin portraying a poetic narrator. Stravinsky’s Suite from Petrushka (1947) condenses his ballet about a tragic puppet into a vivid concert piece, blending Russian folk color, bold rhythms, and shifting moods. Together, these works offer a journey through national identity, folklore, and fantasy, revealing how composers reimagine tradition through bold orchestration and imaginative storytelling.

“The third performance was mind blowing. I loved the percussion sections presence. They really carried a lot of the piece. The flute soloists were palpable. I could feel the flow in my bones. The finger picking with the violins was definitely a highlight of the performance. I loved the way it set the tone. Quiet to loud! Soft to serious. It was incredible. And the harp player?! OMG 💘💗 TY philharmonics!”
