ELGAR'S FRIENDS & RAVEL AT 150 to Close Hudson Valley Symphony Orchestra Season
The program celebrates the 150th Anniversary of French composer Maurice Ravel's birth, by traveling through a world of fairytales with his magical Mother Goose Suite.
The Hudson Valley Symphony Orchestra and Andre Raphel, Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor will present a Season Finale concert, Elgar's Friends & Ravel at 150. The program celebrates the 150th Anniversary of French composer Maurice Ravel's birth, by traveling through a world of fairytales with his magical Mother Goose Suite.
The program also features composer John Adams' exhilarating Short Ride in a Fast Machine and Edward Elgar's beloved Enigma Variations, a tribute to the composer's friends. The season finale concert will take place in Seeger Theater at Beacon High School on Saturday, May 10, 2025 at 7:30 pm.
Raphel said of the program, “Celebrating this historic season with the music of Ravel, Shostakovich, John Adams, and Elgar is a natural fit. As such, the HVSO not only celebrates Ravel's musical history with orchestras worldwide, but also looks forward through the music of Adams.”
As part of this concert, the HVSO presents cellist William Suh, 2023 winner of the HVSO String Competition. Mr. Suh, recipient of numerous prizes and awards, holds degrees from New England Conservatory, Yale University, and is an Artist Diploma candidate at the Juilliard School.
