Spring Concert Series Information:
Join us for Maestro Gesme’s final concert series with the Central Oregon Symphony—an unforgettable “Orchestra Showcase” that pays tribute to his artistic legacy through a richly varied program spanning dramatic opera, heartfelt reflection, folk-inspired dance, and vivid orchestral color.
La forza del destino Overture by Giuseppe Verdi opens with gripping drama and sweeping lyricism, setting the stage for the emotional intensity of his opera.
In contrast, Elegy for Strings, Harp, Timpani, and French Horns by Jonathan Leshnoff offers a contemporary and deeply moving meditation on loss and memory.
Norwegian Dances, Op. 35 by Edvard Grieg brings lively charm and folk flavor, while Dance of the Hours by Amilcare Ponchielli sparkles with elegance and wit.
The program concludes with Pines of Rome by Ottorino Respighi, a thrilling sonic journey through the Eternal City, rich with color and grandeur.
