4:00-4:30pm Pre-concert talk
Join us for a wonderful pre-concert talk led by Dr. Christine Wisch. Like the country itself, Spain’s musical traditions are rich and diverse, but today’s audiences rarely have the opportunity to hear Spanish masterworks in concert. In this talk, Dr. Wisch explores some of the challenges of performing orchestral repertoire from Spain and offers an introduction to the many styles and genres of music represented in the BSO’s program. The half-hour talk briefly touches upon the lives of the composers and situates their music within the broader, better-known history of European art music. From the Aragonese jota to the Basque zortiko, Dr. Wisch will serve as your guide through the dances and musical influences that make up this orchestral program, which includes gems from the zarzuela tradition as well as arrangements of some of Spain’s most beloved masterpieces.
