Program Info: This program brings together two composers with a shared sense of epic scale and cinematic sweep: Miklós Rózsa and Jean Sibelius. The concert opens with selections from Rózsa’s Ben-Hur Suite, one of the most recognizable and dramatic film scores ever written, setting the tone with bold orchestration and unmistakable grandeur. Rózsa’s Violin Concerto follows, a lesser-known but deeply compelling work that reveals his voice beyond the screen — lyrical, intimate, and fiercely virtuosic.
The evening concludes with Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5, a work of elemental power and architectural clarity, culminating in one of the most unforgettable finales in symphonic music. Though they never met, Rózsa and Sibelius share a quiet connection: both spent time composing in Rapallo, Italy, drawn to the same coastal landscape in search of focus and inspiration. Together, their music forms a program defined by scale, atmosphere, and a shared sense of the epic.
