The program opens with Beethoven's Symphony No. 4 , a rare gem, astonishing in its youthful vitality and intimate lyricism. Then, soprano Golda Schultz illuminates André Previn's sensual Honey and Rue, a song cycle fusing classical and jazz music set to poems by Toni Morrison. Supported by the orchestra, her radiant voice captivates and illuminates this sensitive kaleidoscope of feminine emotions, from intimate whispers to passionate outbursts. The program culminates in Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier Suite , unfolding its intoxicating waltzes and fiery duets. Under the passionate direction of Roderick Cox, this condensed opera becomes a symphonic poem where the human soul throbs, each note making our hearts dance. Between symphonic power, vocal intimacy, and orchestral voluptuousness, this program weaves a golden thread across the centuries – where music always beats.
