ASHEVILLE, NC \u2212The Blue Ridge Orchestra continues celebrating its 25th Anniversary Season with two performances of \u201cMarch Melodrama\u201d. Franklin Keel, Asheville\u2019s talented musician, cellist, and composer who has made several solo appearances with the BRO, will lead the orchestra as Guest Conductor.<\/p>\n

Please join the Blue Ridge Orchestra for two afternoons of orchestral favorites at 3:00 pm: on Saturday, March 1st, and Sunday, March 2nd in Lipinsky Auditorium, UNC Asheville. We open March Melodrama with Gluck\u2019s dramatic Overture to Iphigenie in Aulis. The BRO then highlights pianist Ivan Seng in Mozart\u2019s Concerto No. 23 in A major, K. 488. The second half of the program shifts to Dvorak\u2019s Symphony no. 8 in G major, which takes its inspiration from the nature and folk music of his homeland Bohemia, presently the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

Blue Ridge Orchestra Music Director Emily Mariko Eng says of the program: \u201cWe wanted this March program to explore emotions in their extremes. As winter nears its end, we have all spent probably too much time alone with our thoughts and internal dialogues; we have felt joy, despair, hopelessness, optimism, anxiety, peace, loneliness, connection, struggle, triumph\u2026 \u201cMarch Melodrama\u201d captures all of that, through the musical voices of Mozart, Dvorak, and Gluck. The Blue Ridge Orchestra looks forward to making these characters come to life!\u201d <\/p>\n

March Melodrama is the second offering of Blue Ridge Orchestra\u2019s 25th Anniversary season, which expresses WNC\u2019s reflection and resilience after Hurricane Helene. <\/p>\n
