For this season, the symphony’s 10th, Neumann will lead the orchestra and patrons on a musical tour of the world – and beyond. The repertoire features works celebrating many nations and even planets and outer space.
Here are some highlights:
On Oct. 12, 2013, Titans, the symphony performs three pieces: Richard Wagner’s “Reinzi” overture,” Alexander Borodin’s “Polovtsian Dances (Prince Igor)” and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, “Titan.”
For its annual holiday program Dec. 7 and 8, 2013, Music of Many Lands, the orchestra performs Guiseppe Verdi’s “Overture From La Forza del Destino,” Mendelssohn’s “The Hebrides,” Hector Berlioz’s “March Hongroise” and songs from the highlands performed by the City of Sacramento Pipe Band, plus other holiday music and a traditional holiday carol singalong.
On Feb. 8, 2014, Romance! will be in the air as the symphony honors Valentine’s Day. The evening features Joaquin Rodrigo’s “Fantasia para un Gentilhombre,” with guitarist Larry Ferrara, Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Serenade for Strings,” Verdi’s Triumphal March from “Aida,” songs of romance sung by guest soloist tenor Robert Vann and more.
On March 29, 2014, In Celebration of Spring, the orchestra performs Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Russian Easter Overture,” Leopold Mozart’s “Toy Symphony,” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Concerto in B Flat Major, featuring solo bassoonist Tariq Masri, and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7.
The symphony’s season traditionally ends with a pops concert. This year’s, May 31 and June 1, is themed Out of This World. You’ll soar with the opening theme from Richard Strauss’ “Also Sprach Zarathustra,” Wagner’s “Entry of the Gods Into Valhalla,” Howard Shore’s “Fellowship of the Rings” suite, and selections from Gustav Holst’s “The Planets: (Mars, Venus and Jupiter),” “Superman” and “Star Trek.”
