MOZART Overture to Le Nozze di Figaro
Made in America click title to view concert page
The Redlands Symphony performs a concert of works all composed in the United States; Paul Hindemith’s tour de force Symphonic Metamorphosis is one of the composer’s most exciting and beautiful works. This early 20th century staple is paired with Michael Daugherty’s uproariously entertaining nod to the outrageous piano stylings of Liberace—La Tombeau de Liberace (featuring Redlands’ own Lara Urritia), and finishes with composer and jazz legend Duke Ellington’s The River.
