This Weekend at The Brevard Music Center

This is an active weekend at The Brevard Msic Center:

Dialogues of the Carmelites returns to the Porter Center this week for two more matinee performances on Thursday, July 26 and Saturday, July 28 at 2:00pm. Thursday’s performance has only a few tickets left, and Saturday’s performance is already sold out. Don’t miss your last chance to see Poulenc’s beautiful and tragic opera performed in the intimate setting of Morrison Playhouse.

Friday at 7:30 is your opportunity to see not one, but two outstanding pianists play alongside the Brevard Music Center Orchestra as Robert Blocker and Bruce Murray perform Mozart’s Concerto for Two Pianos. Conductor David Stewart Wiley will lead the concert which also includes Dvořák’s Carnival Overture and Sibelius beloved Symphony No. 2. 

Saturday at 7:30 Maestro Wiley will return to the podium to lead the Brevard Sinfonia in an evening of unparalleled beauty as they perform Strauss’s exquisite tone poem Death and Transfiguration. Saturday’s concert will also include Hovhaness’s Symphony No. 2, “Mysterious Mountain” and Ravel’s Suite No. 2 from Daphnis et Chloé.

On Sunday, BMC students will take center stage in two special performances and at two venues. At 3:00pm in Whittington-Pfohl Auditorium, Carol Nies will lead the Brevard Music Center Orchestra in Soloists of Tomorrow featuring the winners of the 2012 Jan and Beattie Wood Concerto Competition. Then at 7:00pm at Scott Concert Hall, the BMC Piano Competition Finals, sponsored by The Zimmerli Family Opera Endowment, will finish out the day.
