Music as Legend Concert
Arkley Center For The Performing Arts
Carol Jacobson, the Eureka Symphony’s Conductor and Artistic Director, envisions this concert as a culturally rich musical adventure, spanning distinctly different traditions and eras.
The concert begins with Chokfi’: Sarcasm for String Orchestra and Percussion by Chickasaw composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate. This piece is a character sketch of a trickster character in Southeast American Indian legends named “Chokfi’”–– a rabbit person with a “complicated and diabolical personality.” In a dramatic shift to the mid-18th century, soloist Evan Kahn, the distinguished principal cellist of the San Francisco Opera Orchestra, will thrill the audience with the classic and joyous Haydn Concerto in C Major. The program concludes with American composer Howard Hanson’s Symphony No. 2 in Db Major, a piece said to reflect his Scandinavian heritage and “the wide, open sound of the American frontier.”
