Flint Symphony Orchestra

Enrique Diemecke music director and conductor
George Goad trumpet

Program
Samuel Barber Overture from The School for Scandal, Op. 5
Eric Ewazen Concerto for Trumpet and String Orchestra
John Williams “With Malice Towards None” from Lincoln
Aaron Copland Billy the Kid (Suite)
William Grant Still Afro-American Symphony

In celebration of the American Semiquincentennial, experience the music of the American spirit and the persistence of its people from the Old West to the Harlem Renaissance. Among them, William Grant Still, the first African American to have a symphonic work performed by a major orchestra, and Aaron Copland, a defining voice of 20th-century music.

Other composers on the program forged new and enduring frontiers of their own: Barber’s School for Scandal overture was his first of many pieces for full orchestra, and Ewazen’s concerto has paved a path for the contemporary trumpeter, as a beloved piece in the repertoire.

With obvious reverence for the American story, John Williams’s “With Malice Toward None,” explores the moral frontier of post-Civil War America, as George Goad’s solemn trumpet solo sings Lincoln’s hopeful vision of a unified country.

In celebration of the centennial of John Coltrane and Miles Davis, pianist Emmet Cohen brings together an all-star quintet to explore the fundamental questions that shaped their artistry: Why are we here? What are we reaching for? Where does the music take us? Guided by the spirit of the infinite, Cohen continues the journey set forth by the architects of jazz — seeking deeper truths through sound. A dedicated champion of musical community, Cohen believes in jazz as a living, evolving conversation — one that unites people across time and place. Join Cohen and his ensemble for a bold, reimagined experience of the music that forever changed the course of jazz.

The Flint Symphony Orchestra will present Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark™ Live in Concert featuring John Williams’ GRAMMY® Award-winning score performed live to the film.

Indiana Jones is the classic hero in this adventure set in the 1930s, which follows the quick-witted and determined archaeologist as he hunts for the Lost Ark of the Covenant. Often facing insurmountable odds, Indy always manages to succeed in the nick of time, joined by endearing companions and opposed by notorious villains.

With an impressive team of supporting actors including Karen Allen, John-Rhys Davies, Denholm Elliott, and Paul Freeman, combined with innovative special effects techniques by Industrial Light & Magic, Raiders has captured the spirits of moviegoers for generations and continues to inspire adventures yet to come.

Genesis ReTouched offers a unique experience by recreating the look and feel of a late-80s to mid-2000s Genesis concert – when the band was at the height of their popularity. Genesis ReTouched plays the hits of Genesis’s best-selling albums, including Duke, Abacab, Mama, Invisible Touch, and We Can’t Dance, while also revisiting classic material.

Genesis ReTouched is fronted by Adam Wheeler, who tackles not just the voice of Phil Collins, but his incredible drumming as well. On keyboards is Jim Questa, capturing the sounds and textures of Tony Banks. Representing Mike Rutherford, Matt Wiles anchors the low-end with bass, bass pedals and guitar. Completing the lineup are Clark Connley and Devon Leigh, stepping into the roles originally filled by Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson.

Saxophonist Branford Marsalis is one of the most influential and revered figures in contemporary music. The NEA Jazz Master, Grammy Award winner and Tony Award nominee is equally at home performing concertos with symphony orchestras and sitting in with members of the Grateful Dead, but the core of his musical universe remains the Branford Marsalis Quartet.
