Sinfonia 2: Elemental

Saturday, Jan. 11, 8-9:30 p.m.

D.F. Cook Recital Hall, School of Music

Embark on a journey through the forces of nature with the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra’s Sinfonia 2: Elemental. Join us on Saturday, January 11, 2025, at 8pm at the D.F. Cook Recital Hall, MUN School of Music, for an evening of captivating music under the baton of conductor Simon Rivard.

The concert opens with Sinfonia (2016) by contemporary composer Linda Catlin Smith, a work that beautifully captures the essence of simplicity and stillness, drawing listeners into its serene soundscape.

Next, revel in the whimsical charm of Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite. This delightful piece, inspired by the playful spirit of the Italian commedia dell’arte, blends elegance and humor with Stravinsky’s signature flair.

The evening culminates with Jean-Féry Rebel’s Les Éléments, a Baroque masterpiece that vividly portrays the creation of the world through a dramatic and dynamic musical narrative. Its bold depiction of the elements—earth, air, fire, and water—will leave you spellbound.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the elemental power and beauty of these orchestral gems. Secure your tickets now for a night of extraordinary music with the Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra.

Tickets are available at the ACC Box Office (729-3900), online at www.artsandculturecentre.com and at the door.
