Honor and Homage
March 17, 2012 ~ St. Patrick's Day ~ 8:00 p.m. ~ Ruby Diamond Concert Hall
Join us on St. Patrick's Day to hear virtuoso violinist Rachel Barton Pine perform Bruch's famous homage to Scottish folk song: Scottish Fantasy. Homage of a different sort will follow with Brahms' Symphony No. 1, referred to by his comtemporaries as "Beethoven's Tenth." This symphonic masterpiece demonstrates both a commanding, original voice and honors his predecessor's legacy. The program will begin with a musical tribute to St. Paddy's Day - Harty's 'Fair Day' from An Irish Symphony.
