Saturday, June 15, 2024 @ 7:30pm



Hertell Gardens
241 E. Dudley Ave, Westfield, NJ 07090

** THIS CONCERT WILL TAKE PLACE OUTDOORS **

Sandy Cameron returns to NJFO in Something New, Something Past

Program

Stravinsky      Pulcinella Suite

Prokofiev        Violin Concerto No.2

Beethoven     Symphony No. 7

Artists

David Wroe Conductor

Sandy Cameron Violin 

NJ Festival Orchestra brings together 3 classical music giants, each work 'tipping its hat' to borrowed material from the past then spinning out in glorious symphonic splendor.

Igor Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite grabs 18th Century Italian court music and refreshes it with kaleidoscopic modern orchestral colors, making the music shine and almost dance off the page.

Ukrainian-born Sergei Prokofiev highlights Russian folk melodies in his reflective and childlike 2nd Violin Concerto.

Finally, Ludwig Van Beethoven, through his 7th Symphony, and in the midst of the Napoleonic Wars, champions the "people" through victorious and uplifting music, and even requisitioning an Irish reel in the finale!



MEET SOLOIST SANDY CAMERON
