The Greensboro Symphony and Master Chorale will join together for their inaugural collaboration, featuring a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. Nicoletta will prepare all scores for the program, provide feedback during rehearsal, and assist music director Dmitri Sitkovetsky as needed. "The Greensboro Symphony Orchestra’s second Masterworks concert of the 2021-2022 Season features the debut of the long-awaited Greensboro Symphony Master Chorale. The performance includes such immortal classics as Copland’s heroic Fanfare for the Common Man and Tchaikovsky’s explosive 1812 Overture. The evening will conclude with Beethoven’s glorious Ninth Symphony, just in time for his 251st birthday! Featured soloists are Lyubov Petrova, Nancy Maultsby, Roderick Dixon, and Marcus DeLoach, along with the premiere performance of the Greensboro Symphony Master Chorale.
Drawing inspiration from Henry Wallace’s 1942 speech proclaiming the 20th Century to be “the century of the common man,” Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man will serve as the opening for this thrilling concert. Closing the first half of the performance is a piece written in commemoration of Russia’s defeat of Napoleon in 1812. Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture is instantly recognizable to millions of people worldwide from its’ tender opening to its’ explosive finale. The evening will conclude with one of the most beloved works ever written: Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The Symphony is a monument to eternal worldly brotherhood and will feature the grand premiere of the Greensboro Symphony Master Chorale under the direction of Jonathan Emmons and James Keith."
