Beethoven Pastoral Symphony and Gabriel Kahane

Saturday, September 22, 2012 - 2:30 pm

Indie singer-songwriter Gabriel Kahane joins the WCFSO for the Midwest premiere of his acclaimed Crane Palimpsest for baritone and chamber orchestra, a 2012 work in which this gifted composer/performer explores connections between the worlds of popular and classical music. 

Linking these two worlds are Fairy Queen by Henry Purcell and Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony.  Purcell captures the earthy English Baroque imagination in his adaptation of Shakespeare's outdoor fantasy Midsummer Night's Dream, while Beethoven conveys the everyday sound of the 19th century through this evocative orchestral depiction of nature.
