Fallbrook
Music Society Presents Diverse
Symphony Program
Fallbrook Music Society is pleased
to present the Redlands Symphony
Orchestra in a concert which
features works by contemporary
American composerChristopher Rouse,
and Johannes Brahms in a stunning
program on Sunday, November 2 at
3:00 p.m. in the Bob Burton Center
for the Performing Arts in
Fallbrook.
This program captures maestro Jon
Robertson (pictured) conducting the
Redlands Symphony Orchestra through
two emotionally stirring
symphonies: The Rouse Trombone
Concerto and Brahms's Symphony No.
2.
Christopher Rouse is one of
America's most prominent composers
of orchestral music. His Trombone
Concerto, a New York Philharmonic
commission dedicated to Leonard
Bernstein, received the Pulitzer
Prize for Music in 1993 and will be
presented at this concert. The piece
is somber, introspective and dance
like. Rouse has created a body of
work perhaps unequalled in its
emotional intensity. The New York
Times has called it "some of the
most anguished, most memorable music
around." The Baltimore Sun has
written: "When the music history of
the late 20th century is written, I
suspect the explosive and passionate
music of Rouse will loom large."
Maestro Robertson will also present
his unique interpretation of
Brahms's Second Symphony, which was
composed in 1877, in the Austrian
Alps. The cheerfulness of the
symphony has been likened with the
pastoral mood of Beethoven's Sixth
Symphony, a bright and joyful piece
that can be referred to as "full of
sunshine and good cheer". The
Second Symphony premiered in Vienna
in 1877 to great acclaim, and Brahms
was hailed as the true successor of
Beethoven.
Concertgoers are invited to join
Conductor Jon Robertson as he
delivers a 30-minute Pre-Concert
talk. These entertaining and
informative talks provide in-depth
information on the music, composers,
and artists featured in the
concert’s works. The Pre-Concert
Talk begins one-half hour in the
theater prior to the performance.
The concert will be held in the Bob
Burton Center for the Performing
Arts, 2400 So. Stage Coach Lane,
Fallbrook, CA.
