The Eastern Connecticut Symphony Orchestra continues its 69th season on Saturday, November 21 at 8 PM with "Euro-Latin Passion", at the Garde Arts Center in New London. ECSO Music Director Toshiyuki Shimada opens up the night with a symphonic flourish of Le Carnaval Romain Overture by Hector Berlioz. Queen Elizabeth Prize silver medalist Aleksey Semenenko adds to the energy with a performance of Nicolo Paganini’s virtuosic Violin Concerto No. 1. Emmanuel Chabrier and Manuel de Falla both summon Spanish imagery in their respective works España and the Three-Cornered Hat Suite No. 1. The Italian flavor continues with film composer Ennio Morricone’s "Gabriel’s Oboe," excerpted from the award-winning soundtrack of The Mission. The concert concludes with Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s dazzling dance-inspired work Capriccio Espagnol. Join the ECSO for an evening of evocative Spanish and Italian dances. The concert is sponsored by Lee and Bernadette Olivier.Eastern CT Symphony Orchestra Presents 'Euro-Latin Passion' Nov 21
