An Evening of Music Performed by the UMBC Symphony Orchestra

The Department of Music presents the UMBC Symphony Orchestra under the direction of E. Michael Richards. The program will feature:

• Carl Nielsen's Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra, Op. 57 [D.F.129], featuring soloist Emily Beisel, class of '11 and winner of the UMBC Symphony Concerto Competition
• Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, Op. 46
• The world premiere of Eclipse by Linda Dusman (professor of music at UMBC)
• Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67

Linda Dusman began composing Eclipse during the summer of 2010 while contemplating two passages from Virginia Woolf's novel The Waves. The work features sonic image of surging colors, instruments weaving around and among one another, attempting to answer questions that defy answers. Shadows of harmonies and melodic fragments continually eclipse one another, finally merging into a single line, embodying a spiritual ascent by a solo violin.

7:30 pm, Fine Arts Recital Hall. Admission is free.
