SUMMARY:Oscar Morawetz\, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:Oscar Morawetz: Carnival Overture\nRobert Schumann: Cello Concerto\nGustav Mahler: Symphony No. 4 \nRevel in the vibrant contrasts of Oscar Morawetz’s lively overture\, Robert Schumann’s lyrical cello concerto\, and Gustav Mahler’s celestial fourth symphony\, featuring the exquisite talents of cellist Bryan Cheng and soprano Lara Ciekiewicz. \nJoin us for an evening of contrasts and connections with music that ranges from the festive to the sublime. The concert begins with Oscar Morawetz’s “Carnival Overture\,” a lively piece that captures the spirited festivities of a carnival. This overture is packed with energy and charm\, setting the stage for a delightful evening. \nNext\, Canadian-born\, Berlin-based cellist Bryan Cheng returns to perform Robert Schumann’s Cello Concerto\, a piece known for its lyrical beauty and innovative structure. Cheng’s previous performances with the WSO have been met with enthusiastic acclaim\, and his interpretation of Schumann’s concerto is sure to be a highlight of the season. \nKnown for his sold-out Carnegie Hall debut at 14 and performances with renowned orchestras worldwide\, Cheng continues to captivate audiences with his dynamic interpretations\, extensive recital highlights\, and critically acclaimed albums\, showcasing his exceptional talent and dedication to his craft. \nThe concert concludes with Mahler’s Symphony No. 4\, a work that combines the classical charm of Haydn with the emotional depth of Beethoven. Winnipeg’s own soprano star Lara Ciekiewicz joins the orchestra for the symphony’s final movement\, singing of a child’s vision of heaven—a serene and joyful conclusion to the evening. \nAcclaimed for her “tour-de-force performance” in Manitoba Opera’s Susannah\, Ciekiewicz is celebrated for her dynamic and moving portrayals across genres\, earning her the reputation of an artistic chameleon. Her versatility and transformative ability shine through in her captivating performances on stage. \nFun Fact: Mahler’s Fourth Symphony includes sleigh bells in the first movement\, adding a whimsical touch that evokes a wintry landscape.
