Repertoire:

Weill - Little Threepenny Music

Mozart - Symphony No. 35, "Haffner"

Thoughts from Morihiko:

“Over the last two seasons with the SC Phil, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the finest musicians in the region and getting to know them both musically and personally. This concert is a celebration of our musical family and a perfect vehicle to showcase the virtuosity, versatility and teamwork of our musicians. Inspired by three of Botticelli’s paintings, Respighi composed a delightful suite filled with brilliant orchestral colors and gorgeous melodies. No strings attached – well, maybe except for the banjo. That’s the case of Kurt Weill’s witty suite taken from his popular Threepenny Opera, scored for a “cabaret” band complete with an accordion. Beloved concertmaster Mary Lee Taylor and principal oboist Rebecca Nagel take the center stage for the Bach. Mozart’s masterful and technically demanding Haffner Symphony brings the evening to an exhilarating close.”
