New York String Orchestra
Jaime Laredo, Conductor

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Overture to Così fan tutte
LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, Op. 19
WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART Symphony No. 35 in D Major, K. 385,
"Haffner"
The New York String Orchestra’s annual Christmas Eve concert is a beloved holiday tradition. This season, they celebrate with music by Mozart and Beethoven. Mozart’s Overture to his opera Così fan tutte brims with wit and energy, while his “Haffner” Symphony, from its majestic opening movement to its quicksilver finale, is an exuberant delight. The modest scoring and genial tone of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 2 owes much to Mozart, but the concerto’s sweetly melodic central movement and its jovial finale are quintessential Beethoven.

Special guests to be announced

JOAQUÍN TURINA La oración del torero (arr. for string orchestra)
MANUEL DE FALLA El amor brujo
The warm nights and charms of Spain come to life in this program conducted by Granada-born Principal Conductor Pablo Heras-Casado. Pianist Javier Perianes is the soloist in Falla’s Noches en los jardines de España (Nights in the Gardens of Spain), an evocative portrait of his beloved Andalusia. Two highly atmospheric works for strings, Toldrà’s Vistas al mar (Views of the Sea) and Turina’s La oración del torero (The Bullfighter’s Prayer), conjure visions of the sea and the bullfighting ring. Singer Marina Heredia adds flamenco fire to Falla’s spectacular gypsy-inspired El amor brujo.
