ONNY waltzes into spring with this program of music inspired by dance! We begin the program with Respighi's imaginative and beloved orchestral setting of Renaissance lute music, Ancient Airs and Dances, Suite No. 1. African American composer Michael Abels, best known for his film collaborations with Jordan Peele, is the composer of Delights and Dances, a work for string quartet soloists and string orchestra. The work is heavily influenced by Blues, Bluegrass, and other popular styles, and will feature the members of the "Julia Trio + 1" as soloists. The concert concludes with Beethoven’s ultimate tribute to dance, his incomparable Symphony No. 7.
