Concert
Dance with the devil? Paganini did. At least that’s the rumor. How else could he possess such electrifying virtuosity? Rachmaninoff peppered his romantic rhapsody with snippets of the Gregorian Chant for the Dead, perhaps attempting to redeem Paganini’s soul. Forbidden passion prevails in Messiaen’s mammoth Turangalila Symphony. His dance blurred the boundary between physical and spiritual love and flirted with the consequences associated with earthly desire. 8:00 PM The Detroit Symphony Orchestra • Peter Oundjian, conductor • Stewart Goodyear, piano • Jean Laurendeau, ondes-martenot RACHMANINOFF Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini MESSIAEN Turangalila Symphony

The long-running Summer Percussion Seminar is designed specifically for advanced high-school percussionists, who must have reached age 15 at the time of their application and must not have graduated from high school prior to July 19, 2009. During two intensive weeks in the exciting cultural environment of New York's Lincoln Center, students pursue hands-on study of all the major percussion instruments: two and four-mallet keyboard, snare drum, timpani, and orchestral accessories. In addition, students are introduced to world hand drums, percussion chamber music, and both multi- and solo-percussion repertoire. Seminar participants will experience a challenging range of master classes, clinics, lectures, rehearsals, and performances—all of this activity focused on preparing them for success in conservatory and college auditions.

Detroit Symphonhy Orchestra
Concert
Dance with the devil? Paganini did. At least that’s the rumor. How else could he possess such electrifying virtuosity? Rachmaninoff peppered his romantic rhapsody with snippets of the Gregorian Chant for the Dead, perhaps attempting to redeem Paganini’s soul. Forbidden passion prevails in Messiaen’s mammoth Turangalila Symphony. His dance blurred the boundary between physical and spiritual love and flirted with the consequences associated with earthly desire. 8:00 PM The Detroit Symphony Orchestra • Peter Oundjian, conductor • Stewart Goodyear, piano • Jean Laurendeau, ondes-martenot RACHMANINOFF Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini MESSIAEN Turangalila Symphony
