SUMMARY:Masterworks 1: Fellowship
DESCRIPTION:Darko Butorac\, conductorJakob Aumiller\, piano \n\n\n\nWhat does genius look like? Often it looks like community. Brahms crafted his exuberant First Piano Concerto through years of collaboration with close friends and mentors\, including Clara Schumann who inspired the concerto’s dreamy second movement. Beethoven’s relentless Seventh Symphony — a personal favorite of his with its unyielding rhythmic drive — premiered at a charity concert performed by an orchestra of friends and fellow composers. Both works emerged from profound creative kinship and community\, proof that greatness rarely stands alone. \n\n\n\nBrahms: Piano Concerto No. 1Beethoven: Symphony No. 7

SUMMARY:Masterworks 3: Double Take
DESCRIPTION:Darko Butorac\, conductorInna Faliks\, minimoog  \n\n\n\nSome moments demand a double take: Romeo catching sight of Juliet across a crowded ballroom\, a synthesizer taking the stage where the piano should be.

Sergei Prokofiev conjures Shakespeare’s star-crossed tragedy in all its beauty and brutality — forbidden love\, violent delights\, and violent ends. Grandson Gabriel Prokofiev offers his own unlikely pairing with the first-ever concerto for Asheville’s own Minimoog\, where acid house collides with the classical and shattering convention becomes a family tradition. \n\n\n\nKabalevsky: Overture from Colas BreugnonGabriel Prokofiev: Concerto for Minimoog Synthesizer and OrchestraSergei Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet Suite

SUMMARY:Masterworks 4: London
DESCRIPTION:Darko Butorac\, conductorZlatomir Fung\, cello \n\n\n\nThis program honors the British talent for holding gravity and levity in the same hand. Britten opens with melodies from his childhood\, reimagined years later. Shostakovich’s cello concerto follows with biting intensity — lyrical\, ruthless\, and unapologetically demanding. Pärt offers an austere meditation on loss\, inspired by the “unusual purity” of Britten’s music. Haydn closes with his final symphony\, composed in London\, ending not in sentiment\, but in triumphant joy. Four composers\, four sharply different voices\, united by the British knack for making contradictions feel perfectly sensible. \n\n\n\nBritten: Simple SymphonyShostakovich: Cello Concerto No. 1Pärt: Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin BrittenHaydn: Symphony No. 104\, “London”

SUMMARY:Masterworks 6: Marquee
DESCRIPTION:Darko Butorac\, conductorAaron Diehl\, piano \n\n\n\nNew York isn’t just the setting\, it’s a main character. Experience 1930s and 40s Manhattan through music that moves like the city itself: brassy\, fast-talking\, tender when it counts\, and always on the move. Gershwin’s concerto for piano swings between Charleston rhythm and back-alley blues\, while On the Town embodies subway rush\, park-bench hush\, and Times Square buzz. Gypsy lifts the curtain\, and Porgy & Bess — a defining American work rooted in Black musical tradition — brings the program home\, showcasing Broadway in its prime: glamour and grit\, lights blazing\, and the city wide awake. \n\n\n\nStyne: Overture from GypsyGershwin: Concerto in F for Piano and OrchestraBernstein: Three Dance Episodes from On the TownGershwin: Symphonic Picture from Porgy & Bess
