Giovanni Perez soloist

PVS' resident musicologist, Dr. David Schneider, Georges Lurcy Professor of Music & History at Amherst College, joins us at 6PM for a pre-concert talk.

Flute virtuoso and Latin Grammy-nominated artist Giovanni Perez will join the PVSO in performing his brand-new flute concerto. Long admired for his improvisations and melodic gift, the orchestra is excited to be part of the creation of Perez's first-ever flute concerto!  One of the most well-known tone poems depicting the bustling landscapes of Rome, Respighi's colorful orchestration promises a real treat together with Nigerian-American composer Fela Sowande’s Folk Symphony, written for the independence of Nigeria, and inspired by the rich musical heritage of the country.
