About the Performance
The Philharmonic’s Centennial Season concludes with music that moves from deep reflection to radiant optimism. Recovering from a three-year-long depression, Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 emanates with the hope of a composer who has rediscovered his muse and is overflowing with romantic passion. Copland’s Symphony No. 3, though written during the last years of WW2, is not a war symphony; instead, it was meant to reflect the high-flying optimism of the U.S. in the post-war period. This same joyful energy emanates from Margaret Brouwer’s Pulse, which alternates between explosion of dynamic rhythmic beats and anticipatory moments of calm.
Join us for Colorado Springs Philharmonic Pre-Concert talks. Go behind the curtain and inside the score with these 30-minute pre-concert conversations one hour before the concert starts.
