Masterworks 1Fear and Redemption
Saturday, Oct. 15, 2016 • 7:30pmUnionville High School
Micah McLaurin, Piano
Sibelius – FinlandiaRachmaninoff – Rhapsody on a
Theme of PaganiniShostakovich – Symphony No. 5
his concert explores music’s call to freedom. The rousing
and turbulent Finlandia wasSibelius’ nationalistic response toRussian oppression. Shostakovich’s5th Symphony gives voice to his fellow citizens’ despair and secrethopes for a better world during the Stalinist purges of the 1930s, mingling tragedy and triumph in an unforgettable creation. Tackled by only the most fearless of pianists,Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on aTheme of Paganini is a brilliant set ofvariations, including one of the mostrecognizable themes in all of Romanticclassical music. Continuing our special relationship with The CurtisInstitute of Music, we welcomeMicah McLaurin, winner of severalinternational piano competitions, including the Ettlingen InternationalCompetition for Young Pianists.

t is with great pride that I
begin my third season as Music
Director of the Kennett Symphony.
I feel the ties of our musical family growing
stronger, and it has been a pleasure, both
personally and musically, to get to know
more of the individuals that make up the
Kennett Symphony.
There is a unique thrill in witnessing the
energy and passion of professional musicians
recreating musical masterpieces right
before your eyes. Take a moment to
explore what we have to offer, and give
us the opportunity to inspire you.
