Pasadena Symphony-Beethoven “Pastoral” Symphony

Pasadena Symphony wraps its 2024-25 season in a cloak of exquisite musical beauty. Violinist William Hagen, a “brilliant virtuoso” (The Dallas Morning News), performs Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1, a stunning tour-de-force filled with lush themes and soaring melodies. It is bookended by works that draw inspiration from the natural world, with Mitchell opening the program with Samuel Jones’ “Hymn to the Earth,” a meditative suite derived from a larger symphonic work entitled “Roundings: Musings and Meditations on Texas New Deal Murals,” which contemplates the cyclical aspects of life and the power of Earth to endure. The concert and season conclude with a sense of optimism and joy as Mitchell leads Beethoven’s expansive Symphony No. 6, ‘Pastoral,’ reflecting a day in the countryside that unfolds, as the composer himself expressed, with a gradual “awakening of cheerful feelings.
