American Symphony Chamber Orchestra (ASCO) Bard-Vassar series
The final concerts in this year's American Symphony Chamber Orchestra (ASCO) Bard-Vassar series will be held on Friday, April 26, at Olin Hall, Bard College, and on Saturday, April 27, at Skinner Hall, Vassar College. Presented by The Bard Center, both concerts begin at 8:00 p.m. and include preconcert talks at 7:00 p.m. Admission is $15 ($10 for seniors and students).
Conducted by American Symphony Orchestra music director Leon Botstein, the concerts will feature the world premiere of Harold Farberman’s Concerto for Cathy, with oboist Robert Ingliss, the orchestra’s principal oboist. The piece, completed in 2001, was written for oboist Cathy Gerardi, a colleague of Farberman, who describes the three-movement work as a "musical portrait of certain aspects of Cathy’s daily life. The final movement is a slow, cadenza-like meditation that utilizes the full range of the instrument." Also on the program are Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll, considered to be one of his greatest instrumental works, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 ("Pastorale"), which was written between 1806 and 1808, just after Beethoven admitted his growing deafness to his friends.
"We’re excited about bringing together two classic works with a premiere by the distinguished American composer Harold Farberman, who is a resident of the Hudson Valley and director of the Conductors Institute at Bard," said music director Leon Botstein.
The concerts at Bard are made possible, in part, through the generosity of the Homeland Foundation and the Leon Levy Foundation at Bard College.
