Pasadena Symphony-Dvořák Cello Concerto

Mitchell returns to Pasadena Symphony’s podium to conduct two masterworks that straddle the 20th century, both written in New York almost 50 years apart by composers transplanted to America and greatly influenced by the folk traditions of their native Eastern Europe. They include Dvořák’s Cello Concerto, featuring guest artist Mark Kosower, Principal Cello of the Cleveland Orchestra, acclaimed for performances that are “emotive…and blazing” (South Florida Review). Composed in 1894, Dvořák’s tender work is noted for its lilting virtuosic solo passages and has become a treasured part of the cello repertoire. It juxtaposes Bartók’s beloved Concerto for Orchestra, a commanding orchestral showpiece rich with color and rhythmic power written in 1943. Setting the tone for this program of epic music is Wagner’s thrilling “Magic Fire Music” from Die Walküre, considered his magnum opus.
