Percussion with Springfield Symphony. Kedrick Armstrong, Conductor Jamie-Rose Guarrine, Soprano Emily Taubl & Aron Zelkowicz, Cello Springfield Symphony Chorus, Nikki Stoia, Director UMass Amherst Chorale, Stephen Paparo, Director We begin with Vivaldis Concerto for Two Cellos in G minor, where Baroques intensity meets lyrical dialogue. We then experience the spirit of France through centuries of bold musical expression. The Springfield Symphony Chorus will collaborate with the University of Massachusetts Amherst Chorale on Poulencs Gloriaa radiant, unpredictable work that shifts effortlessly between sacred devotion and playful irreverence. Ravels Bolero follows, unfolding with hypnotic inevitability as a single idea swells into orchestral ecstasy. We close in the bustling streets of Paris with Gershwins An American in Paris, a dazzling collision of jazz, romance, and cosmopolitan flair.
