OSO, Oakland Symphony Chorus & Madrigal Chorale to Perform Together, 4/5
The Oakland Symphony Orchestra will perform Suite from Henry V by William Walton (arranged by Muir Mathieson). The OSO and the Oakland Symphony Chorus and Madrigal Chorale will present Alexander Nevsky by Sergei Prokofiev.
Alexander Nevsky was originally composed as the score for Sergei Eisenstein's 1938 film Alexander Nevsky.In 1939, Prokofiev arranged the score for the cantata, Alexander Nevsky, Op. 78, for mezzo-soprano, chorus, and orchestra, with most of the score's songs written by the poet Vladimir Lugovskoy. It is one of the most renowned cantatas of the twentieth century, and one of only a very few examples of film music to find a permanent place in the classical repertoire.
Orchestra Hall is in the Max M. Fisher Music Center, at 3711 Woodward Avenue, in downtown Detroit. There is a parking structure adjacent to the hall. Directions and parking information is available on the Detroit Symphony Orchestra website.
