KSO Presents, "Extreme Makeover: Classical Music Edition"

Presented by Kentucky Symphony Orchestra at Northern Kentucky University Greaves Concert Hall, Highland Heights KY

Jan 14 2017
KSO Presents,

Works of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms get more than a facelift courtesy of Elgar, Mahler and Schoenberg.

Makeover mania (homes, fashion, physique) has captivated reality television audiences for more than a decade. On January 14, 2017, the KSO applies the “Extreme Makeover” concept to the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms, with the orchestrational assistance of composers Edward Elgar, Gustav Mahler and Arnold Schoenberg respectively. Hearing J.S. Bach’s Fantasia and Fugue in C Minor for organ in the hands of a full orchestra is exhilarating, while Mahler’s dynamic and formal tinkering and expanded instrumental forces in his rendition of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 offer a variety of new colors and expectations. The G Minor Piano Quartet of Brahms is no longer a chamber piece once Schoenberg pulls together his 20th c. orchestral palette (including mallet percussion). Think of this program as The Three Bs on steroids, or simply the opportunity to hear 6 composers through the works of 3, and across three centuries.
