Myth & Memory

Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra performs musical dramas of lyrical beauty and intense feeling.

James Kahane, Conductor

Stephen Sitarski, Violin

Immerse yourself in the rich symphonic sound of three distinguished orchestral works performed by your Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. Beethoven’s sole violin concerto, starring the HPO’s own concertmaster Stephen Sitarski, is an expansive epic of lyrical beauty, while Brahms’ powerful Third Symphony is a finely wrought musical drama of intense feelings in a restless search for inner tranquility. Raphael’s vivid frescoes depicting the story of Cupid and Psyche shine in Hindemith’s score inspired by his visit to Rome’s Villa Farnesina.

Concert Program:

Paul Hindemith, Amor and Psyche (Farnesina)

Ludwig van Beethoven, Violin Concerto

Johannes Brahms, Symphony No. 3
