Debussy’s Dances Sacred and Profane was written

Debussy’s Dances Sacred and Profane was written for a unique type of chromatic harp that was developed at the beginning of the 20th century. Unlike the pedal harp, it did not need pedals to adjust the string tension because it had two rows of strings. Sadly, the chromatic harp did not become popular since it did not have the same sound volume as the pedal harp. Fortunately, we are left with this beautiful and challenging composition for harp and orchestra. Please join us on Saturday, February 5, 2022 for this great work. Information and tickets can be found on our website (link in bio).

Our April 9, 2022 concert also has a gem of a composition by Florence Beatrice Price. She is noted as the first African-American woman to be recognized as a symphonic composer, and the first to have a composition played by a major orchestra. Adoration has a devotional quality, with its dignified melody and is accompanied by stately chords.

Our March 12, 2022 concert will close with the great George Gershwin masterpiece “An American in Paris.” It is a jazz-influenced orchestral piece that includes a celesta, saxophones, and automobile horns . Gershwin visited Paris in 1926 and said “My purpose here is to portray the impressions of an American visitor in Paris as he strolls about the city, listens to the various street noises, and absorbs the French atmosphere.

Our March 12th concert will feature Mikhail Berest

Our March 12th concert will feature Mikhail Berestnev playing the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini by Sergei Rachmaninoff for piano and orchestra. This composition was so well received that it was used by the celebrated choreographer Michel Fokine to create a ballet scenario based on the legend of Paganini.

Don’t miss Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini March 12 at the newly renovated Performing Arts Center at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. For tickets and more information, visit ccsymphony.org.

Our April 9th concert will feature Beethoven’s 9

Our April 9th concert will feature Beethoven’s 9th symphony! This masterwork is regarded by many critics and musicologists as Beethoven's greatest work and one of the supreme achievements in the history of music. It was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony. The chorus and four soloists join the orchestra in the last movement to sing the memorable “Ode to Joy.”

One of the most remarkable facts about this work is that Beethoven was completely deaf while composing this incredible work.

Please join us for this and all our concerts this 2021-2022 season. #ccso #ccsymphony #livemusic #beethoven #cctx
