One event on October 27, 2024 at 2:30 pm

Feel the thrill of the mighty sea as the Philharmonic embarks on a turbulent journey with Britten’s “Four Sea Interludes,” where waves crash, and winds howl. But fear not. Later, Vaughan Williams guides our fellow travelers to the serene, rolling hills of the English countryside, in an all-encompassing journey through the power and beauty of nature.

Join us for Colorado Springs Philharmonic Pre-Concert talks. Go behind the curtain and inside the score with these 30-minute pre-concert conversations one hour before the concert starts.

Program

Britten “Four Sea Interludes” from Peter Grimes

Theofanidis Concerto for Marimba

Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 5

 

Andrew Gourlay conductor

Born in Jamaica, with Russian ancestry, Andrew Gourlay grew up in the Bahamas, Philippines, Japan, and England. A trombonist and pianist by training, he studied conducting at the Royal College of Music, where he prepared Bruckner symphonies for Bernard Haitink and Mozart symphonies for Sir Roger Norrington. He was selected by Gramophone magazine as their “One to Watch,” and by BBC Music Magazine as their “Rising Star: great artists of tomorrow.”

Ji Su Jung marimba

The first percussionist ever to receive the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, Ji Su Jung has a distinctive musical voice that is instantly recognizable for its depth and lyricism. She has performed concertos with such leading orchestras and conductors as the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra with Marin Alsop, the Houston Symphony with Daniel Hege, the Aspen Festival Orchestra with Michael Stern, the Colorado Symphony, and the Colorado Music Festival Orchestra with Peter Oundjian.
