The cello is one of my favorite instruments. I have a lot of cello music in my classical collection, including Bach. The musician, however, is new to me. Thanks for sharing.
Today is “symphony day” for us — the first concert in our classical series for this season. We’ll be hearing Finlandia, Schumann’s piano concerto, a piece from Smetana’s “Ma vlast” and a KC commission world premiere. Well, technically the world premiere would have been on Friday LOL, but we’ll be hearing it for the first time today.
“Triumphant. Jubilant. Visionary. The 2019/20 Classical Series opens in dramatic fashion with music perfect for a grand celebration as Michael Stern begins his 15th season as Kansas City Symphony music director. Sibelius’ Finlandia has a serene, hymn-like section featuring one the best melodies of all time. This monumental program also includes Robert Schumann’s brilliant Piano Concerto, the world premiere of Daniel Kellogg’s Golden Spike in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad, and Smetana’s showstopper from Má vlast (My Homeland).”

Sounds great! Enjoy that. Sibelius Finlandia is an idea for our Sunday feature. Don’t think we had any Sibelius yet, or at least in a while. Thank you for stopping by on this fine October Sunday.
