"Everything rejoices and hopes when spring renews itself," said Friedrich Schiller. Right on time for the beginning of spring, the musicians of the Young Symphony Orchestra at the State High School for Music invite the audience on an exciting musical journey from the mid-18th to the mid-20th century. Joseph Haydn's very special Symphony in F minor, "La passione," already suggests a connection between the Easter and Passion time and Ostara - the Germanic goddess of spring, fertility, and dawn. The inspiration for the program is also evident through the melodious Spring tributes of Frederik Delius, Jean Sibelius, or Lili Boulanger, with the musical journey also leading through distant and unique landscapes of the European continent: from the idyllic plains of England to the cool Parisian mornings and into the Finnish wilderness. Less picturesque, but brilliantly vivid, Antonín Dvorák explores the contrasting colors of the wilderness in a fascinating way in "The Wood Dove." Finally, Johann Strauss gifts us with light, warmth, and coziness in his waltz "Roses from the South."
