My Program:
RIMSKY-KORSAKOV- Russian Easter Overture, Op. 36 BRUCH – Concerto for Violin No. 1, Op. 26 intermission VAUGHAN WILLIAMS – Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis RESPIGHI – Church Windows
The case for my program: VW was a student of Bruch. Respighi was a student of Bruch and Rimsky-Korsakov. RK, VW and Respighi works share religious elements. An appealing combination of beauty and bombast, familiar and less familiar.
After a back-and-forth battle, "Eternal Stories" by Peter Sachon has won this year's Fantasy Program Contest. Peter is a cellist who has performed all over the United States, Europe and Asia. Mr. Sachon has played for the original Broadway productions of Fiddler on the Roof, The Light in the Piazza, High Fidelity, Legally Blonde, and South Pacific.
