The Concord Orchestra presents “Dreaming With Your Feet” at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 31 and Sunday, June 1 at 2:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center at 51 Walden. The orchestra, conducted by Music Director Zeke Fetrow, performs a program of Michael Kurth’s Everything Lasts Forever, Arturo Marquez’s Danzon No. 2, and Ottorino Respighi’s Pines of Rome. The winner of the young artist competition, Jihye Yun, joins the orchestra to perform W. A. Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 4. The concert title chosen by Zeke Fetrow is a reference to a quote by Constanze Mozart, W. A. Mozart’s wife, “Music is like dreaming with your feet.” This concert features several young performers who participated in the Concord Orchestra’s annual young artist competition. The competition is open to musicians of high school age or younger who live in eastern Massachusetts. This season the winner was chosen by a panel of orchestra members and Music Director Zeke Fetrow. Soloist Jihye Yun is a 12-year-old aspiring violinist and a 7th grade-student at McCall Middle School in Winchester, MA. Born in Seoul, South Korea, she moved to Cambridge, MA with her family at age two. Jihye began her violin studies at age five through the early music education program at NEC Prep. She studied Mozart’s Concerto No. 4 with Mr. Lynn Chang and currently studies violin with Ms. Jin-Kyung. She played Mozart’s Concerto No. 3 with the Lexington Symphony Orchestra for the Family concert and Orchestrating Kids Through Classics in 2022 and 2023. She is a first prize winner in age category A of 2024 NEC Prep Concerto Competition, 2021 NEC Prep String Solo Competition, and 2019 Bay State String Competition. Preceding each concert, one of the young artist competition runners-up will present a pre-concert recital. On Saturday, Lorenzo Ye performs a cello recital at 7:15 p.m. On Sunday, Lillian Arnold Mages performs a violin recital at 1:45 p.m. Michael Kurth, the composer of Everything Lasts Forever, is a member of the bass section of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. The piece was inspired by street art that the composer saw on his way to work. The ironic title refers to a faded, disintegrating banner on a bridge, with the words “Everything Lasts Forever.” Arturo Marquez’ Danzon No. 2 was inspired by Latin dance music. Danzon No. 2 has gained international attention after it was performed around the world with the Simon Bolivar Youth Orchestra of Venezuela and conductor Gustavo Dudamel. The Pines of Rome is one of several popular tone poems composed by Italian composer Ottorino Respighi. In four movements, it describes four scenes at different times in history: the pine trees of the gardens of Villa Borghese with the sound of children playing, the pine trees near early Christian catacombs with solemn hymns, the pines trees of the Janiculum on a moonlit night with a nightingale singing, and the pine trees of the Appian Way at the time of the Roman Empire with the sound of marching soldiers. Tickets for adults and seniors are $25. Admission for youth under 18 is free. For tickets and information, call 978-369-4967 or visit www.concordorchestra.com.
