Lexington Symphony: Exotic Nights

Saturday, September 27, 2025 at 7:30pm

Scheherazade, based on the Middle Eastern folktales, One Thousand and One Nights, showcases Rimsky-Korsakov’s mastery as an orchestrator and storyteller. Waves of sound feature many instrumental solos with a prominent role throughout for the solo violin. Our very own talented Concertmaster, Scott Moore, will be featured in this performance. The German-Jewish composer Paul Hindemith was newly settled in New York in 1951 when he transformed his sketches of a ballet based on themes by Carl Maria von Weber into his “American Symphony”.

Hinge Quartet: Bright

Saturday, October 4, 2025 at 8:00pm

Hinge Quartet’s new program BRIGHT invites the audience to consider this word in a variety of contexts. After all, brightness can be both energizing and disorienting. When faced with darkness, a bit of light can help center our thoughts or guide us down unfamiliar paths. BRIGHT features music by Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh, Caroline Mallonee, and John Mayrose alongside Louis Andriessen’s modern warhorse “Hout” and Klaus Lang’s engulfing “bright darkness (night).”

They say home is where the heart is… Faced with impending deafness, Beethoven leans into the storm of his inner vistas with a soaring masterpiece of vitality and richness, while Schubert envisions his hero’s final journey to the spirit realm. Ernest Moeran recalls the reedy waters, country lanes, and rolling hills of his youth, Stacy Garrop celebrates the grandeur of the American west, and Charles Ives amplifies the little moments from cities and towns across New England, reminding us that no matter where we are, music always brings us home.

We close our 28th season with a phantastic trip down the rabbit-hole where up is down, black is white, and left is right (with…or without glasses).
