Windham Philharmonic’s spring concerts, “Music Through a Prism,” Saturday, April 11, at St. Mary’s in the Mountains in Wilmington; and Monday, April 13, at the Latchis Theatre, offer an opportunity to “step into a world of color, light, and sound,” said organizers in a news release. “This program refracts Baroque, Romantic, and modern music through a vivid kaleidoscope of textures and moods,” they said.
The concerts include Bach’s Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C minor, featuring oboist Aaron Lakota and concertmaster Michelle Liechti “in a dialogue of drive and elevated expression.”
Maria Gabriela Mendez “will enchant concertgoers with the smiling sadness” of Dvořák’s “Violin Romance.”
Combining “lush harmonies with a modernist sparkle, Glazunov’s Saxophone Concerto of 1934 showcases alto saxophone soloist Nick Pelton.” The program closes with Dvořák’s ‘Jarní’; (Spring), “a brief, jubilant celebration of renewal and blossoming energy for the orchestra and their guest soloists.”
Both concerts begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are by donation at the door; all are welcome. For more information, visit windhamphilharmonic.org.
