About the concert:
For notes on the program, see pg. 22.
The Off the Cuff series is an opportunity
for Maestra Alsop to explore the back
story of some of the most celebrated
works in classical music. The programs,
which usually last about 90 minutes,
begin with Maestra Alsop describing the
chosen piece, its history, and its position
within the broader world of classical
music. She then breaks down passages,
showing how themes and motifs carry
through the work, often calling upon the
orchestra to illustrate her points. Finally,
the audience is treated to a performance
of the piece in its entirety.
