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 5: Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Darko Butorac\, conductorJeffrey Whaley\, hornTade Addis\, organ  \n\n\n\n“What I have here accomplished\, I will never achieve again.” Saint-Saëns knew his Organ Symphony was his pinnacle: a monumental work that gathers everything he had to give and the perfect centerpiece for a centennial milestone. As First Baptist Church of Asheville marks its 100th anniversary\, we celebrate with a program worthy of the occasion: Respighi’s Gli Uccelli (written the year the church was dedicated)\, Glière’s soaring horn concerto\, and Saint-Saëns’s masterpiece on the sanctuary organ. With guest artists from our own community\, we are proud to celebrate a century of artistry\, faith\, and connection. \n\n\n\nRespighi: Gli Uccelli (The Birds)Glière: Concerto for HornSaint-Saëns: Symphony No. 3\, “Organ”

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.
