Event Details

Join the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra at Great Lakes Center for the Arts in Bay Harbor for Dreams of Faraway Lands with Flute Soloist Nancy Stagnitta – an exciting musical journey inspired by the cultures of faraway lands on Saturday, April 20th.

Musical portraits by celebrated composers will transport you to the distant regions of the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and Southern Europe in this smorgasbord-concert of distinct musical cultures presenting works such as Mozart’s Abduction from Seraglio and Turkish March, Rossini’s Italian Girl in Algiers, Turina’s Five Gipsy Dances, and Sibelius’ incidental score for the play Belshazzar’s Feast.

The highlight of the concert is Marcus Paus’ Portrait of Zhou for Flute and Orchestra. Paus is the most prominent contemporary Norwegian composer of our time known for promoting works that are influenced by folk music and non-Western classical music, in this case Chinese music. The piece will be presented by an award-winning flutist Nancy Stagnitta, who is a leading crossover artist as both a classical flutist and jazz artist. Her passion, versatility, and elegant artistry have led to concert engagements in Africa, Europe, Asia, and across the U.S. In 2018, she gave the Asian premiere of David Amram’s Giants of the Night Flute Concerto with the China National Symphony in Beijing.

202414jun7:00 pm9:00 pmCarl Orff's Carmina Burana & Saint-Säens Organ Symphony

Event Details

Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana & Saint-Säens Organ Symphony is a true community masterpiece presenting 120 local artists spanning 4 generations! Join Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra at John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View on June 14th for this wonderful event.

The performance includes two masterworks and audience favorites, Carmina Burana by Carl Orff and Organ Symphony by Saint Saens. Featured performers include distinguished artists of the Bay View Chautauqua Music Festival, GLCO Orchestra and Chorus, Little Traverse Choral Society led by Andre Strydom, and Harbor Springs Children ’s Choir led by Amy Cross, coming together at the historic John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View.

This is a unique opportunity to hear these masterpieces as they both require a large performance force and thus are not presented very often. Carmina Burana was last performed in our community over a decade ago and is fondly remembered by our residents to this day. The Saint Saens’ Organ Symphony is one of the rare works that incorporates the “King of the instruments” into the fabric of the score. The organ at the John M. Hall Auditorium is a majestic instrument by Pilcher with all the stops at the disposal to recreate the soundscape of the Organ Symphony masterfully performed by a virtuoso organist Kelly Hale.
