Glens Falls Symphony 40th Anniversary Season continues November 12 with Concert of International Music

The Glens Falls Symphony continues its 40th anniversary season with a concert of music from around the world entitled, “International Colors” on Sunday November 12, 2023 at 4pm. Performing at the Glens Falls High School auditorium, the ensemble of musicians from all over the Northeast will present a concert of pieces from Argentina, France, and Italy. First on the program is a delicate portion of music from renowned Argentinian composer, Astor Piazzolla. Mr. Piazzolla, whose compositions and performances on the traditional accordion-like instrument associated with tango music, the bandoneon, made him a singularly popular figure in Argentina for how he elevated and expanded tango music, wrote his own version of Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons” for violin and orchestra. Called “Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas” (known in English as “The Four Season of Buenos Aires”), the Glens Falls Symphony’s Concertmaster (Principal First Violin) Michael Emery will perform as soloist in the “Autumn” movement.

The program also features a work from the French composer Maurice Ravel about the early French composer Couperin. In honor of this performance of music by a French Baroque-era composer, the Symphony will also be presenting a free screening of the award-winning 1991 film “Tous les Matins du Monde” about the French Baroque composer Marin Marais. This free screening takes place on Wednesday, November 8, at 2:30pm at Crandall Library Community Room. Ravel’s work, “Le Tombeau de Couperin” explores the many different sounds and colors of the orchestra. This second concert of the 40th season concludes with cheerful music by Felix Mendelssohn’s with the Symphony No. 4, known as the “Italian.” This vibrant work brings the lively sounds of the Italian countryside to life with rhythmic and cheerful melodies.

About Concertmaster Michael Emery, Violin

Mr. Emery blends performance with teaching to create an active musical career. He has collaborated in chamber music with many international artists, including Ruggiero Ricci, Elizabeth Pitcairn, André-Michel Schub, and Emanuel Ax. Michael is a concertmaster and frequent soloist with orchestras in New York and California and has performed as a soloist and concertmaster in Asia, as well as several major European cities. Mr. Emery has performed in collaboration with many contemporary composers, including Gunther Schuller, Jennifer Higdon, Joan Tower, Ezra Laderman, Lowell Liebermann, Tommie Haglund, Richard Danielpour, and John Corigliano. Mr. Emery earned his MM in Performance from the Manhattan School of Music as a scholarship student with Erick Friedman and Raphael Bronstein and served as concertmaster of the Manhattan Symphony.
