    • Program Notes: Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1

      Program Notes: Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1
      Jan 30 2026

      This episode explores Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1, Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 and Brian Raphael Nabors’ Pulse. The German composer Bruch left a rich library of works, but he lived and died under the shadow of one piece, his Violin Concerto in G Minor. Optimistic and bold, Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5 – his 100th published work – was embraced by Soviet censors as a symbol of freedom and stands today as a virtuosic, concerto-like showcase that pushes an orchestra to its expressive limits. With Pulse, The Florida Orchestra offers its first-ever performance of a work by the American composer Brian Raphael Nabors, whose music has been described as a fusion of homegrown soundscapes with a contemporary edge.

    • Program Notes: Beethoven’s Triple Concerto

      Program Notes: Beethoven’s Triple Concerto
      Jan 9 2026

      Beethoven Meets Bruckner
      In this episode, we explore two very different kinds of musical journeys. First, Beethoven’s Triple Concerto, often described as “basically a cello concerto with violin and piano,” where the cello sings in a high register, leading to music that’s elegant, playful and deceptively simple. Then, we shift to the vast sound world of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4, “Romantic,” opening with a legendary horn call meant to evoke Medieval knights at dawn and unfolding as a meditative, immersive experience best heard live. Listen in for immersive music, from chamber-like conversation to monumental symphonic landscapes.

    • Program Notes: Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe

      Program Notes: Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe
      Dec 22 2025

      Charles T. Griffes’ The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan is an American masterpiece that captures the dreamy quality of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem. Then comes a French masterpiece, Ravel’s Piano Concerto, a lighthearted romp with an air of American jazz and an homage to George Gershwin. Paul Dukas may be a one-hit wonder with The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, but it’s a doozy. Forever immortalized in Disney’s Fantasia, the whimsical work tells a story through vivid colors and dynamics that bring characters to life. When the program ends with Ravel’s Daphnis and Chloe Suite No. 2, you have to wonder, does any music capture the miracle of morning better than Daybreak from this work?

      This episode includes music excerpts to illustrate each work.
