Broadcast Schedule:
November 2 – The Seven Deadly Sins
Multifaceted star vocalist Storm Large, of Pink Martini fame, in her ProMusica debut performs the dual role of Anna in Kurt Weill’s masterpiece, The Seven Deadly Sins. The work’s deep satirical expression is contrasted by Schubert’s classical and elegant Symphony No. 5, brilliantly led by our Music Director David Danzmayr to open the 46th season.
November 9 – Beethoven’s Emperor
Known for her graceful and timeless interpretations, world-renowned South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son joins ProMusica to perform Beethoven’s majestic “Emperor” Piano Concerto. The program commences with Grammy-winning composer Jessie Montgomery’s Strum and concludes with two Austrian gems— Schubert’s “Unfinished” Symphony, followed by the grand melodies of Johann Strauss’ Emperor Waltz.
November 16 – Neighborhood Series: Mendelssohn & More
Led by Creative Partner and violinist Vadim Gluzman, hear both the whimsical and virtuosic sides of Mendelssohn, from his Wedding March from A Midsummer Night’s Dream to his timeless Violin Concerto in E Minor, performed by rising star violinist Hina Khuong-Huu. Latvian composer Pēteris Vasks’ deeply personal Musica Dolorosa offers a reflective and poignant pause in an otherwise lively program.
November 23 – Akiho & Beethoven
Cellist Jeffrey Zeigler premieres the ProMusica’s 71st commissioned work—a new concerto by Grammy- and Pulitzer-nominated composer Andy Akiho. Returning as part of our Composer/Performer Project, Akiho also performs his Concerto for Steel Pans and Orchestra. Beethoven’s bold yet cheerful Symphony No. 4 closes the program, blending the classical with the contemporary.
November 30 – Mendelssohn Symphony No. 2
Joined by the Capital University Chapel Choir and three world-class vocalists, Music Director David Danzmayr leads ProMusica for its first-ever performance of Mendelssohn’s powerful symphony-cantata, “Lobgesang” (“Hymn of Praise”) —the composer’s most ambitious symphony achievement. Giya Kancheli’s hauntingly beautiful Midday Prayers complements this program of both simplicity and glory.
December 7 – Death and the Maiden
Creative Partner and esteemed violinist Vadim Gluzman leads a program of virtuosity and versatility. Schnittke’s Suite in the Old Style, a nod to the Baroque era, is followed by Mozart’s lively Clarinet Concerto, featuring ProMusica’s principal clarinetist, Ilya Shterenberg. The program concludes with Mahler’s arrangement of Schubert’s Death and the Maiden, one of the great cornerstones of the chamber music repertoire.
December 14 – Aaron Diehl & Rhapsody
Columbus native and acclaimed jazz pianist Aaron Diehl makes his debut with ProMusica for our 72nd commission and premiere: Rhapsody, a new work by composer Michael Schachter commemorating the centennial of Gershwin’s iconic Rhapsody in Blue. William Grant Still’s Darker America opens the program, and Brahms’ deeply romantic Third Symphony brings our dynamic 46th season to close.
