MountainTop Masterworks IV: Season Finale – “A New World” with Andrew Litton
Saturday, July 29 at 6:00 pm
Wintergreen Festival Orchestra; Andrew Litton, guest conductor; D.J. Sparr, electric guitar
We finish the 2023 season with Dvořák’s stirring ninth symphony, subtitled “From the New World” led by guest conductor Andrew Litton of the New York City Ballet. Perfectly paired with the world premiere of Daron Hagen’s Film Noir, an Electric Guitar Concerto (Co-Commissioned by Wintergreen Music) that celebrates the instrument’s role in breezy road movies, smoky torch ballads, cool sixties spy flicks, and soaring romantic film scores." With a vibrant, strong, and colorful opening piece by Lili Boulanger, this concert brings the season to a celebratory and triumphant conclusion!
