13 June 2025 Salt Lake City (Utah, USA)
Korngold's Violin Concerto
Utah Symphony Orchestra conducted by Thierry Fischer - Abravanel Hall
South Korean-German violinist Clara-Jumi Kang makes her Utah Symphony debut with the Korngold Violin Concerto, which brings all the glitz and glamor expected from an Austrian who later found himself in Hollywood composing for films! Echoes of the “American Dream” are also heard in Amériques by French composer Varèse, who moved to America and was inspired by the sounds of industrial New York City.
Mexican composers past and present bookend the program. Revueltas warns of the dangers of cultural clashes, yet Gabriela Ortiz’ Téenek concludes the program, and the season, with the message that a hopeful future lies in recognizing each other’s respective identities and differences—and weaving them together to create something stronger than the sum of the parts.
Silvestre Revueltas: Noche de encantamiento (“Night of Enchantment”), music from the 1939 movie La noche de los mayas by Chano Urueta EdgardVarèse: Amériques Erich Wolfgang Korngold: Violin Concerto, op. 35 in D major, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937) Gabriela Ortiz: Téenek – Invenciones de Territorio
