With an exultant finale based on A Mighty Fortress is our God, Mendelssohn’s glorious “Reformation” contains some of the most majestic and heroic music in the repertoire!
Program
J.S. Bach Suite No. 3 in D Major
Slate Wilson Fantasy for Reed Quintet, String Orchestra, and Harp (World Premiere)
Mendelssohn Symphony No. 5, “Reformation”
A little more about the music…
- It’s hard to believe that something as transcendent as the “Air on the G String” could ever be forgotten, but give Mendelssohn credit for reviving public interest in Bach’s music a century after it was written.
- PCSO’s principal winds shine in an intriguing new piece by Portland-based composer Slate Wilson.
