Each planet will be introduced by spoken word performances curated by Hip-hop poet and playwright Aaron Jafferis\, and Elm City Girls’ Choir will lend their voices to a mystical finale. \n\nThe program opens with Tumblebird Contrails by Gabriella Smith\, standing in for the planet Earth\, which is notably absent from Holst’s Suite of Planets. Smith is a composer whose work invites listeners to find joy in climate action. Her music comes from a love of play\, exploring new instrumental sounds\, and creating musical arcs that transport audiences into sonic landscapes inspired by the natural world. An “outright sensation” (LA Times)\, her music “exudes inventiveness with a welcoming personality\, rousing energy and torrents of joy” (NY Times).\n \n\nListen to Smith’s introduction of her piece:\n \n\nThe concert will then launch into Holst’s magnificent “Planets” Suite\, which stretches the imagination and invites you to explore the sounds and themes of deep cosmic emotions like joy\, war\, old age\, and more. Each planet will start with an invocation by four award-winning Connecticut poets. \n\n\n\n\nConcert Sponsors URL:https://newhavensymphony.org/event/planets/ LOCATION:Woolsey Hall\, 500 College St\, New Haven\, CT\, 06511\, United States CATEGORIES:Classics Series,New Haven Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newhavensymphony.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/david-menidrey-zpUsOQzByFg-unsplash-scaled.jpg GEO:41.3115805;-72.926098 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Woolsey Hall 500 College St New Haven CT 06511 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=500 College St:geo:-72.926098,41.3115805 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250504T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250504T173000 DTSTAMP:20250320T185721Z CREATED:20240709T202838Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250320T185721Z UID:10000587-1746370800-1746379800@newhavensymphony.org SUMMARY:Danzas Sinfónicas DESCRIPTION:2023 Latin GRAMMY triple-nominee Pacho Flores makes his NHSO debut with Daniel Freiberg’s new Trumpet Concerto\, and Perry So leads the NHSO in music by Arturo Márquez\, Gabriela Lena Frank\, and Silvestre Revueltas. \nCelebrating Latin America’s rich musical and dance traditions\, the concert will feature elegant Cuban danzón in Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2\, energetic tango in Daniel Freiberg’s Historias de Flores y Tangos\, and Andean folk influences in Gabriela Lena Frank’s Escaramuza.

Flores has established himself as one of the foremost trumpeters of his generation. He was awarded First Prize in the “Maurice André” International Trumpet Competition\, the most prestigious competition of its kind\, along with top prizes in the Philip Jones and Cittá di Porcia competitions. A product of Venezuela’s renowned El Sistema music program\, Flores has performed as a soloist with leading orchestras worldwide\, including the NHK Orchestra of Japan\, the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra\, and the Philharmonic Orchestra of Kiev. \nFlores has received multiple Latin GRAMMY nominations for his albums\, which feature collaborations with major composers such as Arturo Márquez\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Roberto Sierra\, Efraín Oscher\, Christian Lindberg\, and Daniel Freiberg\, and performances with renowned orchestras including the Konzerthaus Orchester Berlin\, Arctic Philharmonic\, Real Filharmonía de Galicia\, and Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería. \n \n \n\nFrom Music Director Perry So\n“We begin our summer season with a blockbuster concert constructed from the powerful symphonic repertoire of our closest geographical neighbors – Latin America. Dance music is everywhere on the program\, as you would imagine\, but the essence of this music is how carefully poised it is between dance on the one hand and impeccable artistry on the other\, with the pages of these scores filled with complex historical and social undercurrents. I am always initially drawn into this music by the driving rhythms and soaring melodies but find myself digging deeper and deeper into their engagement with some of the weightiest chapters of our shared hemispheric history. We are joined in the second half by my friend and hermano\, Pacho Flores\, the trumpet virtuoso with the most beautiful\, heartbreaking tone I know\, and he brings with him two concertos written especially for him to close this season.” \n\n  \n\n\nConcert Sponsors\n  \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n  \n\n \n\n  URL:https://newhavensymphony.org/event/danzas/ LOCATION:Woolsey Hall\, 500 College St\, New Haven\, CT\, 06511\, United States CATEGORIES:Classics Series,New Haven Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newhavensymphony.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/36e5b66fc7558d814adf81c6c1f47a6dd61dac5e-5014x3343-1-scaled.jpg GEO:41.3115805;-72.926098 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Woolsey Hall 500 College St New Haven CT 06511 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=500 College St:geo:-72.926098,41.3115805 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250323T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250323T173000 DTSTAMP:20250310T215332Z CREATED:20240709T195651Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250310T215332Z UID:10000586-1742742000-1742751000@newhavensymphony.org SUMMARY:Scheherazade DESCRIPTION:Considering tickets to more than one concert this season?

Click here to subscribe today.  \n\n\n\nOn the Program\n\nUnsuk Chin\nsubito con forza \nDu Yun\nEars of the Book – Pipa Concerto \nNikolai Rimsky-Korsakov\nScheherazade \n\n \n\nFeatured Performers\nNew Haven Symphony Orchestra\nPerry So\, conductor & music director\nWu Man\, pipa \n \n \n\nAbout this Performance\n\nThis adventurous program will feature Rimsky-Korsakov’s enchanting Scheherazade\, which uses music to tell the story of 1001 Arabian Nights. NHSO proudly welcomes triple-Grammy nominee Wu Man – the world’s foremost pipa soloist – to serve as a “wordless narrator” on Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Du Yun’s extraordinary and unusual Ears of the Book. \n\nMusic Director Perry So says\, “Our program is a kind of ‘translational adventure‘ – all three pieces take an idea from one realm and transform it into a new idiom where it feels entirely natural. The new Pipa concerto by Du Yun takes the sounds and musical gestures of traditional Chinese opera and gives them to the symphony orchestra to evoke that world that is quickly receding into memory. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade is one of the greatest of orchestral showpieces and needs no introduction\, only to say that his immediate inspiration was visual rather than literary\, and all resemblances to The Tale of Sinbad’s Ship is purely coincidental! Unsuk Chin wrote “subito con forza” for a Beethoven birthday bash that never happened in 2020\, and takes a violent gesture from Beethoven’a Coriolan Overture and spins a cobweb of magical music in the shards of that initial impact.” \n\n  \n  \n\n\nConcert Sponsors\n \n\n\nThis concert is presented as part of Connecticut Orchestra Month\, a statewide celebration of the vibrant orchestral scene across Connecticut.

The Ordering of Moses was never forgotten – church choirs\, community groups and others have kept the piece in our ears – but the first performance at Carnegie was only in 2014\, and the British premiere in 2022. What remarkable sound worlds are contained in the piece: lush late-Romanticism with echoes of Wagner and Elgar\, but as a context for the immediacy of the African-American spiritual that sounds stark and timeless. The sound of actual chains being pulled emanate from the orchestra against harmonies that dissolve into suggestions of near-Eastern scales. All in the service of the story and the emotion contained at the core of the work – a young Moses discovering his calling to lead his people out of slavery\, perhaps the most eloquent musical cry against oppression in the American tradition.” \n\n  \n  \n\n\nConcert Sponsors\n  \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n\nFree Pre-Concert Events\nInterested to learn more about “The Ordering of Moses?” Click here to learn more about the free\, pre-concert events and conversations taking place around Greater New Haven prior to this performance. \nThere will also be a free\, pre-concert talk hosted by organist Nathaniel Gumbs at 2PM on the first floor of Woolsey Hall on Sunday\, February 9.

Since her teenage debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra\, she has performed thousands of recitals and concerts throughout the world in major concert halls and with renowned orchestras and conductors including Leonard Slatkin\, Keith Lockhart\, Daniel Meyer\, Victor Yampolsky\, Robert Moody\, and Dmitry Sitkovetsky. Her memoir\, Weight In the Fingertips was published by Globe Pequot in 2023 receiving outstanding reviews. In 2024 she premieredClarice Assad’s Lilith Concerto amd released her latest CD: Manuscripts Don’t Burn.  \n \n \n\nAbout this Performance\nClara Schumann and Johannes Brahms shared a deep and enduring friendship that greatly influenced their music. Clara\, a brilliant pianist and composer\, was a close confidante and mentor for Brahms. Their relationship\, rooted in mutual respect and admiration\, inspired some of the most beautiful and heartfelt compositions in classical music. This concert celebrates their unique bond and the timeless music born from it. \nThe program will also feature Connecticut’s official composer\, Charles Ives\, in honor of his 125th Birthday Anniversary! Born in Danbury in 1874\, Ives attended Yale University and worked in the insurance industry\, while also becoming one of the most influential composers in American history. Three Places in New England aims to paint a picture of American ideals\, lifestyle and patriotism at the turn of the 20th century by musically visiting Boston Commons; Redding\, Connecticut; and Stockbridge\, Mass. \nFrom Music Director Perry So: \n“Symphonic music came to New Haven through immigrants over a century ago\, and central European musicians have played a major part of the history of the NHSO\, the fourth oldest symphony orchestra in the country. While technically European at its source\, the works of composers such as Brahms\, Tchaikovsky and Dvorak almost immediately crossed the Atlantic and flourished on the music stands of the NHSO and our peers. Brahms’ fourth and final symphony is such a work — thoroughly central European at its birth but almost immediately finding a home on these shores. In this program we explore Clara Schumann’s piano concerto\, a foundational work of the history of the piano that has been unjustly forgotten until recently. We will also celebrate the 150th birthday of Connecticut’s state composer\, Charles Ives\, the great maverick innovator of American music\, who walked the streets of New Haven as a young man\, and attended countless NHSO concerts in those formative years.” \n\n  \n\n\nConcert Sponsors\n  URL:https://newhavensymphony.org/event/clara-johannes/ LOCATION:Woolsey Hall\, 500 College St\, New Haven\, CT\, 06511\, United States CATEGORIES:Classics Series,New Haven Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newhavensymphony.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Clara-and-Johannes.jpeg GEO:41.3115805;-72.926098 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Woolsey Hall 500 College St New Haven CT 06511 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=500 College St:geo:-72.926098,41.3115805 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240922T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240922T180000 DTSTAMP:20260728T153216Z CREATED:20240708T180823Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260728T153216Z UID:10000582-1727017200-1727028000@newhavensymphony.org SUMMARY:Beethoven's Ninth | Ode to Joy!

This piece has taken generations through its harrowing journey in oppressive darkness\, holding out false promises of an Eden that never materializes\, until a voice pulls us back from the brink and shows us the way out of despair through community and through art. I love that this piece brings solace in bereavement at the same moment that it calls for a radical egalitarianism in art. It says to us: “since we are equally human in joy and sadness\, together let’s choose the joy that reminds us how much we all share.” \n  \n\n\nConcert Sponsors\n  URL:https://newhavensymphony.org/event/bn24/ LOCATION:Woolsey Hall\, 500 College St\, New Haven\, CT\, 06511\, United States CATEGORIES:Classics Series,New Haven Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newhavensymphony.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/NHSO-114-scaled-e1686845166249.jpg GEO:41.3115805;-72.926098 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Woolsey Hall 500 College St New Haven CT 06511 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=500 College St:geo:-72.926098,41.3115805 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240601T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240601T173000 DTSTAMP:20240506T183629Z CREATED:20230729T023751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240506T183629Z UID:10000553-1717254000-1717263000@newhavensymphony.org SUMMARY:Latina Leading Ladies of Broadway DESCRIPTION:Get On Your Feet for a dazzling afternoon of Broadway’s iconic Latina roles with your NHSO\, including Nina and Vanessa from In the Heights\, Gloria Estefan from On Your Feet!\, and Maria from West Side Story.  NYC’s new sweetheart\, Linedy Genao\, returns home to Connecticut following her critically acclaimed starring role in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Bad Cinderella to make her NHSO debut\, joined by combined voices from CT Gay Men’s Chorus and Hamden’s Whitney Players.

It made a tremendous impression on me at the time and it’s been part of my life ever since. “The symphony is the world\,” Mahler once said.  “It must embrace everything.”  True to his word\, Mahler gives us the works: From the frozen-landscape opening to the white-hot intensity of the finale\, from the knee-slapping country dance of the second movement to the bizarre minor-key version of Frère Jacques that opens the third movement\, Mahler’s daring originality is something to marvel at—all the more impressive because it came from the imagination of a 28-year old in his first symphonic outing.\n\nFor the balance of the program\, I’ve turned once again to the work of Florence Price\, whose music has been something of a theme during my time as Music Director.  I’ve decided to reprise a particular favorite—Ethiopia’s Shadow in America—alongside a work new to NHSO audiences\, an arrangement for string orchestra of the Andante Cantabile movement from the second string quartet\, a work that amply displays her special lyrical gift.”\n\nSponsors\n\n \n \n\n \n  URL:https://newhavensymphony.org/event/alasdairs-finale24/ LOCATION:Woolsey Hall\, 500 College St\, New Haven\, CT\, 06511\, United States CATEGORIES:Classics Series ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://newhavensymphony.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/NHSO-082-scaled.jpg GEO:41.3115805;-72.926098 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Woolsey Hall 500 College St New Haven CT 06511 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=500 College St:geo:-72.926098,41.3115805 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240413T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240413T180000 DTSTAMP:20240319T141745Z CREATED:20230729T021825Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240319T141745Z UID:10000547-1713020400-1713031200@newhavensymphony.org SUMMARY:Harlem Renaissance: Orchestral Voices DESCRIPTION:This high-energy program celebrates the orchestral music written by Black composers and performers at the heart of the Harlem Renaissance. \nThe Music\nDuke Ellington\nBlack\, Brown & Beige • Solitude \nMargaret Bonds\nI Got a Home in that Rock • You Can Tell the World \nWilliam Grant Still\nAfro American Symphony \nJames P.
