on Sunday, February 26th at 3pm at the Church of St. Ann and the Holy
Trinity in Brooklyn Heights. Come and hear musicians from all over
Brooklyn, including Ditmas Park, create a memorable musical experience
and talk with them at the reception that follows.
Music of the early part of the 20th century will be the focus of the
Brooklyn Symphony Orchestra 's upcoming concert to be held on Sunday,
February 26, 3pm, at the Church of St. Ann and the Holy Trinity in
Brooklyn Heights. The program, conducted by Artistic Director Nicholas
Armstrong, will include "Parade" by Erik Satie, "Pacific 123" by
Honegger, Les Biches by Poulenc and Suite from "The
Firebird" (1919) by Stravinsky.
"This very rich musical period will delight our audience," said
Armstrong. "Stravinsky's 1919 suite from his ballet "The Firebird" is
well-known, but the less frequently performed works – Honegger's
exciting symphonic representation of a speeding locomotive, Poulenc's
elegant evocation of the eighteenth century with many nods to Mozart,
Haydn, Beethoven, even Lully, and Erik Satie's Dadaist ballet "Parade"
with its sirens, bottle-o-phone (!) and cracking pistol shots – should
offer our listeners a stunning and highly colorful panorama of the
musical life of Paris in the teens and twenties."
A reception to meet the musicians will follow the concert with free
refreshments.
Admission is suggested donation of $15. Children are free.
