BARRE – The Vermont Philharmonic will feature a performance of Beethoven’s “Violin Concerto in D” in a concert celebrating spring on Sunday, May 3, at 2 p.m., at the Barre Opera House, with music director Lou Kosma conducting.
Soloist Arturo Delmoni, violinist, will perform the concerto. He has performed with major orchestras across the country and played recitals throughout the U.S., Europe, Japan and Hong Kong. He is known locally for his many performances in the Central Vermont Chamber Music Festival.
The orchestra will play “The Moldau,” one of Czech composer Bedrich Smetana’s six tone poems from his “My Fatherland” cycle. It describes the course of the Moldau river starting from its two springs, flowing through fields and woods, past hunters, peasants celebrating a wedding, nymphs frolicking in the moonlight, wild rapids, and finally in a broad stream flowing through Prague and its castle to join the Elbe river.
The program opens with Mozart’s overture to “Der Schauspieldirektor” (“The Impresario”).
