Symphony Summer: 12 Weeks of Musical Mastery #4
Welcome back! If you were one of this year’s concert attendees, Maestro Schulze has picked a composer that you should be familiar with! After listening to the MSO play the Tchaikovsky’s beautiful Symphony No. 5 last October, come explore another of his masterpieces with us!

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky – Symphony No. 4
Tchaikovsky penned many letters to his patron, Nadezhda von Meck, about this 4-movement symphony and its meaning, giving us unique insight into the piece. With a strong repeating fanfare and a powerful final movement that incorporates the Russian folk song “A little birch tree stood in the field” this piece is a unique musical experience backdropped by Tchaikovsky’s contemplative exploration of fate.

Listen to it now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE1cbF3sQQc

Symphony Summer: 12 Weeks of Musical Mastery #3

Symphony Summer: 12 Weeks of Musical Mastery #3

Glad you made it! This week Maestro Elizabeth Schulze has selected a piece that is probably new to many of you.

Anton Webern – Six Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 6
An important milestone in orchestral music, this piece highlights the uniqueness of 20th century modernism in music. This piece may not be considered the most accessible to today's listeners but with the fantastic explanations of Maestro Rattle from the BRSO in the video below we invite you to take the opportunity to learn a bit more about the many sides of orchestral music.

Listen to Maestro Rattle here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5PR-sLcXFo

Symphony Summer: 12 Weeks of Musical Mastery #2

Welcome back! This week's orchestral work, hand selected by Maestro Elizabeth Schulze, is a feast for both the ear and the eye.

Modest Mussorgsky – Pictures at an Exhibition
In this ten movement piano suite, Mussorgsky takes the listener on a journey throughout an art exhibit with each movement representing a different picture within the gallery and the repeating promenades representing the observer wandering from one illustration to another.

Listen to it now! https://youtu.be/XwJMpQiqCm4?si=nG-SFnJeyfAFChfp

We're trying to blend music and visual arts next year at the MSO, too! If you want your students' art to be the works guiding us through the 2025-2026 MSO concert season, check out our cover contest for students here: https://www.marylandsymphony.org/collaborate/bravo-cover-contest/
