Orchestral Firepower
2025-07-26 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Halifax) | The Scott Center at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, 5625 Holy Trinity Dr, Melbourne, FL, 32940, United States
The program opens with Principal Clarinetist, Jennifer Royals performing the world premiere of Vero Beach composer, R. Michael Daugherty’s joyous Concerto for B-flat Clarinet and String Orchestra. We all know and love the iconic ending of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, but when was the last time you heard the entire work? The piece stands out for its grand instrumentation, alternating between tension and exultation, culminating in an apotheotic finale that symbolizes resilience and the conclusion of one of the 19th century’s most defining conflicts. The audience will take a more active role in the finale of the work, providing the cannon fire by popping brown paper bags provided by the orchestra. To conclude the concert, Collins conducts Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony in which the composer, to quote Leopold Stokowski, proves himself to be “a master who was constantly growing in creative imagination and musical self-confidence.” The Sixth transports listeners into the realms of spring, joy, and youthful spirit. However, beneath the surface of its seemingly cheerful melodies lies a deeper exploration of irony.
Tickets for Orchestral Firepower are $35 in advance for adults, available through the orchestra website at SpaceCoastSymphony.org or at Marine Bank & Trust in Suntree. Tickets at the door are $40. Orchestral Firepower is free for those aged 18 and under or any college student with a student ID. Discounted tickets are available for all SCSO concerts through the Symphony for Everyone program.
