Two compositions for orchestra and two for the soprano voice make up the programme for February’s Kamloops Symphony concert. To open, music for the orchestra’s strings by Polish-Lithuanian composer Grazyna Bacewicz. To close, Symphony No.3 by Felix Mendelssohn — known as “The Scottish” the music is coloured in part by the composer’s enthusiastic reactions to his Highland explorations there. Between these works we will hear the voice of emerging Canadian star, Élisabeth St-Gelais. The Innu soprano will perform the five Wesendonck lieder, Wagner’s intimate exploration of love, and then the description of the sleeping Phidylé in the song of that name by French composer Henri Duparc. Join us to get more background, to listen to music excerpts, and to share your reactions.
