The Windham Philharmonic, Music Director Hugh Keelan, performs Monday, May 20, 2024 at the Latchis Theatre. On the program are W. A. Mozart's Symphony No. 36 in C ("Linz")—composed in four days during a stopover in that Austrian town—and Maurice Ravel's Rapsodie espagnole.
Rapsodie espagnole is Ravel's first orchestral work. Ravel, whose mother grew up in Madrid, draws on his familiarity with Spanish music and traditions for his musical imagery. The third movement, "Habanera," began as a piece for two pianos and was orchestrated later that year, adding three other movements. The lively fourth movement, Feria, which means "festival," concludes this work with a flourish.
The concert is at 7 p.m., and lasts approximately one hour. Admission is by donation; baked goods will be available for purchase.
