The New Haven Symphony Orchestra will returns to live performances with 14 concerts on the New Haven waterfront between May 21 and July 4, it was announced the other day.
The concerts will feature musicians from the NHSO and guest artists performing in small, socially-distanced ensembles outdoors at the Canal Dock Boathouse on Long Wharf Drive in New Haven. Tickets to the series will be available for purchase beginning April 19 at noon.
Music Director Alasdair Neale, who will host the series, says, “Words cannot express what it will mean for us to be able to play music together again. We are hopeful that this series signals that our darkest days are behind us, as well as expresses gratitude for the support and generosity of our audience and community this past year.
The concerts will include music by Antonin Vivaldi, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Felix Mendelssohn, Florence Price, Franz Schubert, Gioachino Rossini, Jennifer Higdon, Jessie Montgomery, John Philip Sousa, Jonathan Moore, Leonard Bernstein, Margaret Bonds, Philip Glass, Rafael Hernández Marín and Scott Joplin.
Performing side by side with NHSO musicians will be familiar Connecticut artists including tenor Charles Widmer, electric cellist Jonathan Moore, steel pan virtuoso Kenneth Joseph, soprano Lisa Williamson and dancer/choreographer Tavon Dudley, as well as local poets. A full list of concert programs and performers will be posted at NewHavenSymphony.org.
