Windham Philharmonic Concert

 

The Windham Philharmonic performs on Monday, April 1, 2024 at 7 p.m. at the Latchis Theatre. Hugh Keelan, Music Director, conducts Haydn’s “Surprise” Symphony and Stravinsky’s Divertimento from the Fairy’s Kiss.

 

Haydn’s Symphony No. 94 made its debut in 1792, with Haydn’s aim being to give the public something new and exciting. Stravinsky’s Divertimento is a suite of four movements arranged from his ballet, The Fairy’s Kiss (Le Baiser de la fée). He wrote it in homage to his predecessor, Tchaikovsky, for whom he had deep admiration.

 

The orchestra has enthusiastically welcomed new violinists in recent months. Bobby Crocker joins us from Westminster West, Maddie Grant from Brattleboro, and Anna Carson from Londonderry. Interested string musicians are invited to inquire about joining.

 

Admission to the concert is by donation, and baked goods will be on sale. The concert will last about an hour.
