  3. Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet, with Rodrigo’s Royal Guitar


Prize-winning young phenom guitarist Jiyeon Kim, from the Curtis Institute, joins the orchestra to perform the most popular work by Rodrigo, one of Spain’s most influential composers. It is described as capturing “the fragrance of magnolias, the singing of birds, and the gushing of fountains” in the gardens of Aranjuez. A film score Suite opens this program by early twentieth-century Mexican composer Silvestre Revueltas. The timeless and tragic love story of Romeo and Juliet will turn the second half into a musical drama for the concert stage. Trace the crucial events of this famous love story in Prokofiev’s wrenching score with its chilling and heartbreaking conclusion. Ovation & Masterworks Series
