Sunday MountainTop Masterworks III: Scott Joplin & Aaron Copland…with a Dash of Schubert
Playful, feisty, and colorful, this music feels familiar, but will be totally unexpected! Aaron Copland’s Clarinet Concerto with Wintergreen Music’s own Benny Goodman-in-residence, Charlie Messersmith, paired with musician favorite Schubert Symphony No. 5, shines under the baton of innovative conductor and music arranger, Nicholas Hersh. Arranged by our own guest conductor, Scott Joplin’s Solace: A Mexican Serenade highlights ragtime with a tango infusion. There may even be a surprise musical appearance by Duke Ellington!
Please note: The Sunday performance of this concert includes a pre-concert talk (beginning at 2:00 pm) with guest conductors to add color and perspective to your concert experience.
