Sibelius’ composing hut was situated under a migration path of Finnish swans. And so, every year he bade farewell to these majestic creatures and awaited their return after the long winter. His Fifth Symphony climaxes with a glorious melody he called his ‘Swan Theme’. To tie in with this poetical idea, we have Nielsen’s Helios Overture, an ode to the sun, and Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Suite.    

Nielsen                        Helios Overture

Tchaikovsky                 Swan Lake Suite

Sibelius                        Symphony No. 5

The Four Last Songs of Richard Strauss are amongst the most divinely ravishing meditations on cycles of life, time and age in existence. While Ravel’s La Valse is an incisive replica of Viennese waltzes but viewed through the lens of history post-World War 1, Brahms’ Fourth Symphony is a bittersweet farewell to the old world in the rapidly changing social landscape of the late nineteenth century. In combination, these works offer a compelling glimpse of an era at its close.

Ravel                           La Valse

Strauss, R                    Four Last Songs

Brahms                        Symphony No. 4

This wonderful program centers around the idea of transformation. With Richard Strauss’ incredible tone-poem Death & Transfiguration that looks back over the hero’s life and then culminates in his ascent, Wagner’s alternately earthly and celestial Lohengrin preludes, an exciting work by living female composer Missy Mazzoli about the Detroit skyline, and Tchaikovsky’s irresistible Sleeping Beauty Suite, this concert is certain to be a winner.  

Mazzoli                        River Rouge Transfiguration

Strauss, R                    Death & Transfiguration

Wagner                       Lohengrin Prelude Acts I & III

Tchaikovsky                 Sleeping Beauty Suite

Under the auspices of Moxart, the GNSO will partner with three concerto soloists to present Mozart’s sublime Clarinet Concerto, Beethoven’s youthful second piano concerto, and Prokofiev’s bold and energetic Piano Concerto No. 2.

The Orange County monthly magazine recently called the GNSO annual Holiday Concert one of the five things you ‘must do’ in the Hudson Valley this holiday season. With a mixed local chorus and spectacular soloists, this is sure to be a highlight for everyone.

Our summer pops program will feature an exciting group of soloists singing their hearts out to your favorite music from Broadway. This promises to be a delightful event that will have everyone singing along and humming long after they have left the hall.

With an unparalleled view of the Hudson, this wonderful outdoor event will take place at dusk. The concert, called Revolutions, will finish just before the famous firework display directly across the river at West Point.
