Adelphi Symphony Orchestra Concert on March 23 at 7:30 p.m

An evening of classical music featuring the Department of Music
 
GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - March 14, 2018 - PRLog -- The talented students and faculty comprising Adelphi University's Symphony Orchestra return to the stage for an evening of the music of Antonio Vivaldi under the direction of multiple Grammy-award nominee Christopher Lyndon-Gee on Friday, March 23 at 7:30 p.m. on the Westermann Stage, Concert Hall in the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center (PAC), 1 South Ave, Garden City, New York.

Antonio Vivaldi is a household name through his vastly famous The Four Seasons. In this exciting concert, the orchestra presents five lesser-known of his more than seven hundred works, full of the sparkling energy, vitality, and the bubbling originality that made him a star not just in his native Venice, but throughout Europe in his own day. Guest soprano Ilana Davidson will sing two unforgettable cantatas, In furore, and Laudate, pueri. Ms Davidson, described by The New York Times as a "crystalline soprano," has had her work recognized with multiple Grammy awards, including "Best Classical Recording." Freshman flute student Erin Barrett plays the famous La Notte ("Night") concerto; and concertmaster Igor Pikayzen brings to the stage two of the most brilliant violin concertos that give the famous Seasons a run for its money. Enhancing the evening's program is the world premiere of Ghazal, a profound and thoughtful work for string orchestra by graduating Adelphi senior, Oswaldo Machado.
