3:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Travis Jürgens, Music Director
Frank Rosenwein, Oboe
Sponsored by Woodwind Workshop
Newly appointed, Music Director Travis Jürgens serves as Director of Music Ministry at Saint Ambrose Catholic Parish and as Music Director of the fully professional Perrysburg Symphony Orchestra. He won 2nd Prize and the President of the Jury Award at the 2019 Bucharest Music Institute International Conducting Competition. He has collaborated with esteemed conductors, including Michael Tilson Thomas and Marin Alsop. He has been praised as “a superior conductor” and “well on his way to becoming a major conductor in the world of symphony orchestras” (Opus Colorado).
Frank Rosenwein joined The Cleveland Orchestra as principal oboe at the beginning of the 2005–06 season. Mr. Rosenwein serves as head of the oboe department at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where in 2015 he was given the Alumni Achievement award. He teaches at the Kent Blossom Music Festival and is in demand as a guest artist and masterclass clinician in schools all over the world. An avid chamber musician, he has spent many summers at the Marlboro Festival and has performed with the Mainly Mozart Festival in San Diego, Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, and the Seattle Chamber Music Society.
Ludwig van Beethoven‘s Coriolan Overture
The Coriolan Overture depicts the ultimate conflict between war and an alternate path of compassion, peace, and transcendence. In the story, the proud and vengeful general Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, filled with feelings of betrayal, returns to Rome with an army made up of his former enemies, determined to invade and destroy the city. Reaching Rome’s gates, he abandons his plan. The Coriolan Overture is celebrated for its dramatic tension, structural clarity and Beethoven’s masterful orchestration, making it a staple in concert repertoire.
Vaughan Willilams’ Oboe Concerto
Frank Rosenwein, principal oboe of The Cleveland Orchestra performs the Vaughan Williams Oboe Concerto exquisitely and masterfully. Vaughan Williams began work on the Oboe Concerto in 1943. The concerto was to have been premiered at a Proms concert on 5 July 1944, but due to the threat of raids on London the Proms season was curtailed. The piece was first played in Liverpool instead, on 30 September 1944 in a concert by the Liverpool Philharmonic.
Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 ‘New World’
Symphony No. 9 ‘New World’ was a major milestone in the validation of American—or “New World”—music and as source material for classical composition. The New World Symphony notably employed stylistic elements that were suggestive of Bohemian, German, French, Scottish, and other Old-World sources. In its character, then, Dvořák’s New World Symphony was an expression of both the Old World and the New, and as such has enjoyed transoceanic appeal.
Free and Open to the Public.
