Walton Arts Center, Fayetteville
Program:
Márquez, Danzón No. 2
Heather Schmidt, Piano Concerto No. 4, Phoenix Ascending
Heather Schmidt, piano
Sibelius, Symphony No. 2
“In Mexico, Marquez’s Danzón No. 2 is a widely cherished, iconic piece of music. In the U.S., hardly anyone knows it, but we hope that’s about to change. It’s a fantastic ride through the Mexican sound world, and absolutely thrilling to listen to and experience. … I’m lucky enough to count Heather Schmidt as a friend and colleague, and I know our whole audience is going to love her stage presence and her astonishing piano concerto. … Sibelius’ 2nd Symphony is one of my favorite pieces to conduct and to listen to. It’s a fresh, raw, and powerful beauty – one that leaves me changed each time I hear it.”
— SoNA Music Director Paul Haas
