UW Symphony Orchestra recording in Hamel Music Center.

Even though the new Hamel Music Center is closed to the public due to COVID-19, the Mead Witter School of Music at UW-Madison is making great use of its concert halls with a robust livestream schedule featuring student ensembles and solo performances. This week features the next concert by the school's symphony, with a program including I Crisantemi by Giacomo Puccini, a suite of arrangements drawn from Bizet's opera Carmen by Rodion Shchedrin, and "Coqueteos" by Lena Frank. Find the livestream on YouTube; donations can be made here.

Program

Puccini: I Crisantemi

Lena Frank: “Coqueteos” from Leyendas: An Aldean Walkabout

Bizet/Shchedrin: Carmen Suite (excerpts)

……….

Both the intensity of Puccini’s I Crisantemi (Chrysanthemums) and the enchantment of Lena Frank’s Coqueteos (Flirtations) are the main ingredients of the unforgettable melodies in the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet. The percussion section of the UW-Madison Symphony Orchestra will join the strings in this collection of movements that Rodion Shchedrin extracted from this celebrated opera.
