American Sound in Mind: Concertino for the 3rd Symphony Concert in Coburg
Raise the curtain for a compact Deep Dive into the program: The Concertino prepares you succinctly and closely for the 3rd Symphony Concert I Like To Be In America – with musical examples, context, and captivating anecdotes about Gershwin, Bernstein, Ellington, and Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. This way, you start the big concert in the evening or the following day with sharpened ears.
Sound Colors of the New World
Between jazz pulse and symphonic orchestration, the introduction shows how Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F swings, how Bernstein's Symphonic Dances from West Side Story turns choreographic energy into sound, and how Ellington's Suite Black, Brown and Beige combines symphonic elegance with Big Band groove. Zwilich's Jubilation frames the panorama as a modern, radiant opening.
Listening with the Inner Spotlight
What characterizes the audience's mood for this program? Concise leitmotifs, sophisticated synchronization between percussion and winds, jazz-toned harmonies – in the Concertino, you'll learn to instantly recognize these signals in the big concert. This enhances the live atmosphere and sharpens the focus on sound balance, conducting, and stage performance of the Philharmonic Orchestra of the State Theater Coburg.
History, Backgrounds, Handwriting
The introduction places the works in a music-historical context: from Broadway and Big Band traditions to contemporary classical music. You will learn why Gershwin works in a symphonic context, how Bernstein's rhythms create dance-like tension, and why Ellington's suite is considered a bridge between jazz club and concert hall.
Conclusion
Precisely prepared for the concert: The Concertino provides you with the insightful ear-openers for a more intense concert experience. Two hours later in the hall, you'll hear more – details, drive, dramaturgy. Secure your seat and experience American sound power live at GLOBE Coburg.
