Music Viva Kentlands is returning to the Kentlands on September 17 on the Kentlands Clubhouse lawn.

This year’s concert will include a variety of music choices from the classical world. The first half of the concert is a performance of to Dvorak’s “New World Symphony”, a piece intimately tied to American musical traditions. The second half will feature performances of “Blue Danube” (Johan Strauss), “Ohne Sorgen” (Joseph Strauss), Bizet’s “Carmen” Suites No. 1 and 2, and a complex Paganini piece with an intensive violin solo by Ms. Alessandra Cuffaro.

To accommodate these music choices, Musica Viva has organized its largest ensemble of professional musicians to date, a forty-piece orchestra. Each year, the orchestra is hand-crafted by Mr. Tartaglione to best fit the needs of that performance. This year percussion, string, wind, woodwind, and-- most importantly--you will all come together for this delightful display of musical talent.
