Event Description
Concert underwritten by Commodore & Mrs. Jan Drent and Natexa Verbrugge
DINUK WIJERATNE, conductor
Dinuk Wijeratne: Two Pop Songs on Antique Poems
Alexander Borodin: Prince Igor: Polovtsian Dances
Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade
Historic texts, tales, and sea-faring travel inspire a program conducted by Dinuk Wijeratne—who is also a pianist and JUNO® award-winning composer. Perhaps it was kismet that Borodin’s opera Prince Igor was completed by Rimsky-Korsakov, because it went on to provide a hit tune on Broadway. The storytelling prowess of the legendary Persian Queen Scheherazade enchanted the Sultan in the tales of One Thousand and One Nights—Rimsky-Korsakov’s own suite does the same for music lovers.
