The Blue Ridge Orchestra (BRO) begins its 2022-23 season with two performances of Senza Surprise<\/em>, held October 8 and 9 at 3 p.m. in UNC Asheville\u2019s Lipinsky Auditorium. The concerts feature Franz Josef Haydn\u2019s Symphony No. 94, known as the Surprise Symphony.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to return to our two-concert format, to provide more opportunities for folks to enjoy a BRO performance,\u201d says the orchestra\u2019s music director Milton Crotts, who will conduct the concerts.<\/p>\n

The program opens with Ludwig van Beethoven\u2019s Coriolan Overture<\/em>, composed as incidental music for a now obscure play about a 5th-century Roman general who first saves and then betrays his country. Beethoven\u2019s flair for the dramatic is on display in this musical portrayal of Coriolan\u2019s triumphs and defeats, haunted by his mother\u2019s anguish at his fate. Next, the program takes a lighter turn as the orchestra accompanies BRO clarinetists Gary Spaulding and Justin Landry in performing Felix Mendelssohn\u2019s Concert Piece No. 2 with Two Clarinets and Orchestra<\/em>. A delightful exhibition of the instrument\u2019s tone, range and versatility, Concert Piece No. 2<\/em> displays the composer\u2019s sense of fun for both the soloists and their audience. The program ends with the Surprise Symphony, one of six that Haydn composed in Paris between 1785 and 1786.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis season opener is designed to bring the orchestra and our audiences together to share music composed in different eras, in different genres and in different styles by three of the greatest classical composers,\u201d says Crotts. \u201cAudiences will appreciate the contrasts and mood changes not only among the pieces but within each piece.\u201d<\/p>\n
