- Antonio Martí, trumpet
- Miguel-Harth Bedoya, guest conductor
Alexander Arutiunian — Trumpet Concerto in A-flat major (Antonio Martí, trumpet)
Maurice Ravel — La valse
Maurice Ravel — Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2
Join the Charleston Symphony and Emmy-award winning conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya in a program featuring the Serenade for Orchestra by William Grant Still. As the first Black composer whose work was premiered by a major American orchestra, this work nods to the CSO's Project Aurora which aims to elevate the music of superbly talented yet traditionally overlooked Black artists.
The CSO's own Antonio Martí appears as soloist on Alexander Arutiunian's Trumpet Concerto—a remarkable masterpiece of the repertoire for trumpet and orchestra. The program ends with two lusciously orchestrated works by Maurice Ravel; La valse and the Suite No. 2 from his ballet Daphnis and Chloé brimming with emotion and artful storytelling.
Tickets to these performances on February 3 & 4 are available online at charlestonsymphony.org.
