St. Paul's United Methodist Church, 620 Romeo Rd, Rochester, MI, 48307

Celebrate the evening of Friday, May 31, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. with The Rochester Symphony Orchestra (RSO) directed by Conductor and Music Director&nbsp;Zeljko Milicevic. Do not miss a tribute to the “Grand Canyon Suite” by Ferdi Grofé and the performance of the Young Artist Competition winner, violinist Matthew Xu. The Symphony will perform at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 620 Romeo Road, Rochester, Michigan. 
The evening begins with “Carnival Overture” by Antonín Dvořák. The “Carnival Overture” was written in 1891, by which time Dvořák was among central Europe’s most respected composers. It was the second of a three-overture cycle, “Nature, Life, and Love.” Life (Carnival), as it was originally called, portrayed life as a vast carnival, full of noisy crowds, vendors, and barkers. 
“The Moldau”, is a <a href="https://www.britannica.com/art/symphonic-poem" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">symphonic poem</a> that evokes the flow of the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Vltava-River" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Vltava River</a> or, in German, the Moldau from its source in the mountains of the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Bohemian-Forest" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bohemian Forest</a>, through the <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Czech-Republic" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Czech</a> countryside, to the city of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Prague" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Prague</a>. “The Moldau’s” composer, Bedřich Smetana, born 1824 in <a href="https://www.britannica.com/place/Bohemia" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bohemia</a>, was the founder of the Czech national school of <a href="https://www.britannica.com/art/music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">music</a>. He was the first truly important Bohemian nationalist composer. 
Music written about the Grand Canyon contains many themes, including songs celebrating the nature and wildlife of the area. However, one of the most famous and enduring pieces of music inspired by the Grand Canyon is Ferdi Grofé’s “Grand Canyon Suite,” composed between 1929 and 1931 fifteen years after his first glimpse of the Canyon in 1916. It was initially titled “Five Pictures of the Grand Canyon.” It consists of five movements, each an evocation in tone of a particular scene typical of the Grand Canyon. The five pictures or movements are “Sunrise, Painted Desert, On the Trail, Sunset, and Cloudburst.” In 2000, National Public Radio named Grand Canyon Suite one of the 100 most important American musical works of the 20th Century.
The winner of the Young Artist Competition is always celebrated each May. This year we congratulate the 2024 winner, Matthew Xu. Matt is from Rockville, Maryland, and a sophomore at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, pursuing dual degrees in Computer Science and Violin Performance. He will perform “The “First movement from the Korngold Violin Concerto” the night of the concert.
This amazingly beautiful concert will be performed on Friday, May 31,2024 at 8:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, 620 Romeo Road, Rochester, Michigan. 
Tickets are $30 for Adults and $5 for Students and can be purchased at 248-651-4181 or visit us on our website at <a href="https://www.rochestersymphony.com/event/what-a-wonderful-world/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.rochestersymphony....</a>.
