Symphony NH kicks off its 100th anniversary celebratory season with a musical tapestry incorporating historical and modern pieces and featuring works written about or in New Hampshire. Oliver Caplan’s Lunastella Fuga enfolds one in the magic of a simple summer night during a camping trip in New Hampshire. John Adams’ “Shaking and Trembling” from his Shaker Loops is a modern dance of dense, swirling sounds that juxtaposes beautifully with New Hampshirite Amy Beach’s renowned Bal Masque. Closing the evening is none other than Igor Stravinsky’s The Firebird Suite, a brilliant work that put the composer on the map. Originally composed as a one-act ballet, SNH brings this scintillating, atmospheric and colorful Romanticism of this work to you in the compelling chamber music version - an absolute must hear, which promises to have you thinking about this work in a new light.
