Jeffrey Biegel will give the last in a series of performances of Ellen Taaffe Zwilich�s Millennium Fantasy for Piano and Orchestra with Maestro Leon Botstein and the American Symphony Orchestra on Friday, April 8 and Saturday, April 9, 2005 � 8 PM both nights at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.
These Millennium Fantasy performances will be the last in a series of more than two dozen performances of the work that Jeffrey Biegel has given with orchestras from Maine to California since its September 2000 Cincinnati Symphony premiere. The composer has described the 20-minute work in this way:
�The musical point of departure of Millennium Fantasy is a folk song my grandmother sang to me when I was a small child. I can still "hear" her voice when I remember this, so I thought it would be a special pleasure to create a musical fantasy based on it.�
�Millennium Fantasy is in two movements in which the folk song occasionally rears its head, but more often serves as a springboard for a larger musical design. While there is significant interaction between the solo piano and the orchestra, the solo piano leads the exploration in virtuosic style.�
Tickets for the April 8 and 9 concerts are $38, with student discounts available. For more information, contact the Fisher Center at Bard College Box Office at (845) 758-7900 or the American Symphony Orchestra at (212) 868-9276.
