Description

Stéphane Denève, conductor 
Johannes Moser, cello 

Camille Saint-Saëns Danse macabre 
Guillaume Connesson Cello Concerto 
Sergei Prokofiev Selections from Waltz Suite  
Sergei Prokofiev Scythian Suite 

Vibrant, swirling, hypnotic. The SLSO explores its devilish charm in a weekend of music that is quirky, eccentric, and all at once wonderful. Saint-Saëns’ infamous Danse macabre envisions rattling bones and the devil’s harmonies, and Connesson’s Cello Concerto toys with innovative textures and soundscapes inspired by the earth and the cosmos. A mosaic of Prokofiev’s dance music offers glimpses into Cinderella’s castle, Tolstoy’s War and Peace, and the evil spirits of Slavic mythology.
