R.I. Philharmonic at The VETS March 15, 16

PROVIDENCE – R.I. Philharmonic Orchestra’s Resident Conductor Francisco Noya leads the Orchestra for Janáček’s Káťa Kabanová: Overture, Dvořák’s Symphony No.5 and Beethoven’s Violin Concerto featuring soloist Jennifer Frautschi, who makes a return engagement to The VETS. The TACO Classical concert, Beethoven Violin Concerto, is on Saturday, March 16, at 8 p.m. The Amica Rush Hour concert is on Friday, March 15, at 6:30 p.m.

“I will always jump at any chance to work with my R.I. Philharmonic Orchestra colleagues, and I am thrilled to have such an exceptional concert to lead. Together we will be exploring the gorgeous compositions inspired by the Czech musical language. Dvořák’s 5th Symphony, influenced by Germanic traditions, is full of light and humor. Dvorak was a master symphonist whose work is considered central to the orchestral repertoire. With its Slavic connection, Janáček’s music is immersed in the deep musical culture of the Czech nation,” said Francisco Noya, RI Philharmonic Orchestra’s Resident Conductor. “I am delighted to be sharing the stage with the talented Jennifer Frautschi who will bring Beethoven’s masterful Violin Concerto to life with her engaging personality and musical mastery.”
