FSO — Mahler Symphony No. 7

Mark Flegg — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 21:25:43 +0000

We’ll be starting 2010 with a bang in Flint this month with a performance of Gustav Mahler’s seventh Symphony. It is always a joy to perform Mahler’s works. The trumpet parts in his symphonies are well-written and as musically gratifying as they are challenging. Come on out for an exciting evening!

Also on the program will be the Reinecke Concerto in D major for Flute and Orchestra, featuring 2009 Byrd Competition winner Conor Nelsen.

More Information is available at the FSO website (click here).

Handel’s Messiah in Northville

Mark Flegg — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:42:59 +0000

I will be performing Handel’s Messiah several times throughout the Metro-Detroit area this holiday season. The first of these has become a holiday tradition for me, as I’ve performed this production all but one of the last 15 years.

This performance will take place at First Presbyterian Church in beautiful downtown Northville. From the FPC website (where more information and directions are available):

Handel’s most popular and enduring work is his oratorio based on the life of Jesus Christ, “Messiah”. The Northville Concert Chorale presents this magnificent choral work each December to a full house. The chorus is accompanied by organ, harpsichord, and the Michigan Sinfonietta Orchestra of Ann Arbor. Professional soloists sing the solo roles.

FSO Nutcracker

Mark Flegg — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:30:13 +0000

Once again the Christmas season is upon us. What better way to get things rolling than with a performance or two of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Ballet.

From the FIM website:

Enjoy the magic of the holidays with this timeless story told in dance and music with Nutcracker’s sparkling sets and beautiful costumes.

Featuring New York City’s Collage Dance Collective and Flint School of Performing Arts dancers while the Flint Symphony performs the unforgettable score to this charming holiday performance.
