Dances From Around the World
A Musical Program to discover the various cultures and customs conveyed through music featuring ArCoNet’s Youth and Chamber Orchestras.
This interactive concert performs by classically trained students and faculty will bring the audience on a journey that explores the dance-like music found in the classical literature and beyond, from Grieg’s Holberg Suite to El Cumbanchero, a well-known piece from a Puerto Rican Composer. The ArCoNet Faculty Quartet will open the performance with a Minuet, a traditional French dance found frequently in compositions by J. S. Bach and W. A. Mozart. The Chamber Orchestra will then demonstrate music in the style of a waltz with the second movement of Suk’s beautiful Serenade for Strings and Gaban con Gavilan en Fuga, a recent arrangement of a Venezuelan Joropo. The Youth Orchestra will conclude the program with a few movements that represent various dances from the Holberg Suite, followed by the exciting El Cumbanchero. Throughout the concert audience will learn about the history and origin of each dance with insightful explanations, rhythmic activities, and much more. ArCoNet aims to further its goal of fostering a connection between music, culture, and the community in this compelling collaboration with the Spring International Festival.
