The program will also feature world famous harpist <strong>Yolanda Kondonassis<\/strong> performing <strong>Ginastera\u2019s Harp Concerto<\/strong>. It will open with <strong>El R\u00edo de las Siete Estrellas<\/strong> (The River of the Seven Stars) by <strong>Evencio Castellanos<\/strong> which uses the backdrop of the largest river in Venezuela, the Orinoco, to tell a symbolic history of Venezuela. <strong>Concert Comments, <\/strong>one hour prior to performances are complimentary with tickets.<\/p>\n<p>Yolanda Kondonassis is celebrated as one of the world\u2019s premier solo harpists and is widely regarded as today\u2019s most recorded classical harpist. Since making her debut at age 18 with the New York Philharmonic and Zubin Mehta, Kondonassis has brought new audiences to the harp and has appeared as soloist with major orchestras all over the world.\u00a0 The 2016 recording, <em>Ginastera: One Hundred, <\/em>celebrating the centennial of the composer\u2019s birth, features performances of his music by Kondonassis, guitarist Jason Vieaux, violinist Gil Shaham, and pianist Orli Shaham.<\/p>\n<p>Since its premiere in 1965, Ginastera&#8217;s Harp Concerto has acquired an almost cult status as the definitive harp concerto of the twentieth century. With its pulsing Latin rhythms, virtuosic displays, and creative use of many unique colors and special effects, the work has received numerous performances during the past several decades, nearly 200 of which have been performed by Kondonassis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlberto Ginastera\u2019s Harp Concerto not only <em>made<\/em> my solo career, it was probably a major factor in my decision to choose the harp over the piano at a critical fork in the road,\u201d says Kondonassis. \u201cHaving a piece of music that gave me the opportunity to be passionate, ferocious, vibrant, dissonant, and fiery was a deal-maker for me. Ginastera\u2019s Concerto gave me a window into all the other characteristics that the harp &#8211; and a harpist &#8211; could possess.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over 20 years in the making because he doubted he would be able to compose anything as great as Beethoven\u2019s Symphony No. 9, Johannes Brahms must have breathed a sigh of relief when his first symphony was hailed as \u201cBeethoven\u2019s Tenth.\u201d Brahms\u2019 final movement is most recognizable for its bold, hymn-like theme adopted by so many academic institutions as an official alma mater. It looks backward to the finale of Beethoven\u2019s Ninth and was referenced by Mahler in his Third Symphony. Once Brahms had cracked the symphonic code, his Second Symphony followed the next year.<\/p>\n<p>The TSO Classic Series is sponsored by Mrs. Dorothy Dyer Vanek. <strong>Brahms Symphony No. 1 <\/strong>is presented by Encompass Health Rehabilitation Institute of Tucson.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets to <strong>Brahms Symphony No. 1<\/strong> are $30 to $86.
