Rhapsody and rhythm are the musical forces behind this multi-faceted program. HSO will give its debut performance of Drew Zaremba’s Rhapsody in Raag in Jog, which combines traditional Indian music motifs, jazz, and classical sounds. Bansuri flute, tabla, saxophone, and Kathak dancing will bring these expressions to life in a work that opens with mystery and closes with incisiveness. Enesco’s haunting Romanian Rhapsody invokes an other-worldly sensibility, and the evening will conclude with a performance of Beethoven’s ecstatic 7th symphony.
