Mozart’s opera The Abduction from the Seraglio, and his Violin Concerto No. 5, “The Turkish” (performed here Benjamin Rous, conductor Yun Zhang, violin by the VSO’s own Yun Zhang) used exotic melodies and rhythms to evoke the Turkish culture to his Austrian audiences, while Ravel’s Laideronette Mozart: Overture to The Abduction from the Seraglio transported the imaginations of his French countrymen to far-away lands Ravel: Laideronette (Empress of the Pagodas), in Asia. Join us as we explore how composers depict the music of foreign from Ma mère l’Oye (Mother Goose) lands and how music may reveal more about the society that produces it Mozart, Violin Concerto No. 5 in A Major, than the society it imitates.

imaginations, and the British Isles offer a treasure trove of folklore and folksongs! Malcolm Arnold’s Tam o’Shanter Overture is an excellent example of program music, which depicts a character, scene or story. As in his last orchestral work, the Suite on English Folk Tunes, Benjamin Britten drew heavily from folksongs throughout his career and appreciated “the sweetness of the melodies.” Beethoven was also a prolific composer of folksong settings and, in fact, he wrote more in this genre than any other. Through a concert rich with the heritage of the British Isles, we will explore the enduring link between words and music.

Kick off the holiday season with the Academy Award-winning movie The Snowman. The charming, animated film follows the story of a young boy and his magical friendship with a snowman, while the VSO performs Howard Blake’s score, including the popular song “Walking in the Air.” “The Gift of the Magi,” based on O. Henry’s beloved short story, is a profound message of love and generosity. It is the tale of Jim and Della, a young couple living in a shabby New York tenement, and their Christmas gifts to one another, bought by sacrificing what they each hold most dear. Joining the VSO on stage will be the Virginia Children’s Chorus and narrator to bring the story to life!
