Composers have always taken inspiration from nature, so it is no surprise that many have picked up their pens to give us musical depictions of the fascinating creatures with whom we share the planet. Throughout the 2016-17 Season, the talented musicians of the Garland Symphony Orchestra will offer our audience the most delightful and entertaining of these philharmonic fauna, from the smallest (Shostakovich’s gadfly) to the largest (Saint-Saëns’ elephants). Our musical zoo will include bears (Haydn and Bartok), horses (Auber), penguins (Scott), and even a cow (Milhaud). A few mythical animals will come to musical life, as well, including Stravinsky’s Firebird and Debussy’s Faun. It’s a symphonic safari not to be missed!
A fabulous array of soloists will be on hand to entertain you, including Italian pianist Antonio Di Cristofano, pianist Andreas Kerkezos, violinist Kiarra Saito-Beckman and a special presentation of Robert and Alex McDonald performing Carnival of the Animals.
