Eric Jacobsen, conductor
Virginia Symphony Orchestra Chorus
Copland: “The Promise of Living” from The Tender Land
Bernstein: Selections from Candide
- Overture
- Glitter and Be Gay
- Make Our Garden Grow
Various: Potsdam
As part of our season-long observance of America 250, this concert takes a look at the role music played in one of the most tumultuous times in the history of the world. At the 1945 Potsdam Conference, works by Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Kreisler, and others were one of the only things that united the assembled Allies--represented by President Harry Truman, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin. In this new production, the Virginia Symphony Orchestra & Chorus will incorporate storytelling to show just how powerful music can be and how Hampton Roads played a part in this pivotal moment.
Co-presented with the Virginia Arts Festival
These performances are made possible through a generous gift from the Susan Goode Performance Fund.
Celebrating his fifth season, Eric Jacobsen serves as the Virginia Symphony Orchestra’s twelfth Music Director, the Macon & Joan Brock Chair. He is also artistic director and co-founder of The Knights, the uniquely adventurous NYC-based chamber orchestra, and Music Director of the Orlando Philharmonic. In addition to conducting, Eric is a dedicated chamber musician (cello) and is a member of Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble.
