Fall Orchestral Concert
Covenant Church
1310 Old Spartanburg Rd, Greer, SC 29650
Borodin – Polovtsian Dances. Bright tone colors, graceful melodic lines, and energetic rhythms create a feeling of celebration and joy. The 1953 musical Kismet is mostly adapted from Borodin’s music, including these dances. Stranger in Paradise is adapted from the Gliding Dance of the Maidens. Do you recall the opening of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi – a flying girl sweeping through a winter dreamscape? The music was from Polovtsian Dances.
Rimsky-Korsakov – Russian Easter Festival Overture is an ode to nature’s blazing rebirth after winter’s dark slumber. Solemn chants, combined with folk music and joyful revelry, reflect the transition from the somberness of Passion Week to the jubilance of Easter Sunday. The music calms the mind and stirs hope in the soul.
As a pre-Thanksgiving tradition, Foothills asks their audience to help Greer Community Ministries replenish their food pantry for needy families by donating canned goods at this performance.
Join us at the reception following the concert and get to know the musicians over food and conversation. Concert, reception and parking – absolutely FREE!
