The most interesting program, from my perspective, is the February program, which includes Donizetti's one-act opera Rita, though the first half of the program is string arrangements of various non-Wagnerian bleeding chunks. Curious how the Salome Dance of the Seven Veils will sound with a small string orchestra.
The featured composer this year is Michael Daugherty, a popular, easy-listening, blandish, competent composer. The first program is all Daugherty except for Josef Suk's Serenade, Op. 6. Clarice Assad's Dreamscape makes its return, on a program that includes the premier of a new violin concerto by Daugherty. There's a concert with Chanticleer, repertoire TBA. Well, there's work by a female composer on the season.
Full details after the cut. Update: Fixed the dates, because all of the 2013-14 season concerts are not in 2013. :) (The detailed listing was correct, just not the headers, for the 2014 programs.)

ReplyDeleteThe dates are directly from NCCO's press release - I'm sure you can see where the typos are.
ReplyDeletethanks, but now it is YOUR post. i thought you were a stickler for details :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, it depends on how I'm feeling from day to day, and also whether real harm will be done. But I'll fix the dates now. :)
