Guest conductor Fernanda Lastra will lead the performance, featuring Principal Oboist Jennet Ingle in the world premiere of a new concerto written especially for her.
Program Details
The concert will open with George Frideric Handel’s “Entrance of the Queen of Sheba” and selections from his Water Music Suite No. 2, evoking the grandeur of the Baroque era. The program then turns to living composers whose works highlight today’s vibrant symphonic landscape:
-
Spectacle of Light by Stacy Garrop, a celebration of radiance and movement
-
Daughter of the Stars by Heather Niemi Savage, inspired by the natural world
-
Obertura Tanguera, homenaje a Astor Piazzolla by Esteban Benzecry, a rhythmically charged tribute to the tango master
The centerpiece of the concert will be All This to Say, a new oboe concerto by Kincaid Rabb, offering an intimate reflection on connection, expression, and musical storytelling.
The South Bend Symphony Orchestra thanks its Season Sponsor Jack M. Champaigne for supporting the June H. Edwards Mosaic Series.
