TIC Performance at NJPAC!

Here are the Program Notes:
Strauss: Don Juan
This work balances heroism and swashbuckle with two ravishing love scenes. L
isten for violin and oboe solos, glorious horn writing and a surprise ending.
Britten:
Violin Concerto Composed in America during the war, this concerto is played without pause. His experience writing for voice is evident—sometimes searingly so—in the violin line. Notice the timpani’s rhythmic pattern in the first movement and the passacaglia that concludes the concerto.
Schumann: Symphony No. 3, “Rhenish”
The “Rhenish” Symphony is Schumann’s only symphony without a slow introduction. Schumann plunges in with a buoyant, vigorous first movement. His scherzo is a bucolic scene on the Rhine, complete with German folk melodies. Cologne’s magnificent cathedral inspired the reverent fourth movement, leading to an optimistic finale.
