The second concert of the season presented by your Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra featuring conductor candidate Daniel Black and guest artist Natasha Paremsk!
Maestro Daniel Black’s program promises barn-burning energy! Bookending the concert are Jessie Montgomery’s Coincident Dances and Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony. Montgomery’s work is inspired by the mosaic of dance music found in New York’s various subcultures, from samba to techno, English consort to mbira; Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony–famously referred to as the “apotheosis of the dance” by Richard Wagner–is infused with driving, dance-like rhythms throughout, especially in the outer movements. The symphony culminates in one of the most explosive finales of the entire repertoire. Between these two works, Rachmaninoff’s brooding and virtuosic Third Piano Concerto packs some serious dynamite, especially as performed by rising star pianist Natasha Paremski.
