SUMMARY:Carmel Bach Festival: A Midsummer Night's Dream
DESCRIPTION:Mendelssohn   A Midsummer Night's Dream\, Overture Stravinsky   Pulcinella Suite\, and Haydn   "Harmoniemesse"\n\n\n\n\n\nStravinsky's Pulcinella Suite\, originally presented as a ballet\, will be performed with projections of Pablo Picasso's set design sketches for the piece.\n\n\n\n\nThe Carmel Bach Festival's 2025 theme\, Dialogues\, is beautifully expressed through this program\, which explores connections across time\, culture\, and artistic expression. Felix Mendelssohn's Midsummer Night's Dream Overture opens the concert\, offering a musical interpretation of Shakespeare's beloved comedy. Mendelssohn's orchestration captures the interplay between fairies\, lovers\, and rustic characters\, creating a whimsical and dynamic conversation between literature and music.\n\nIgor Stravinsky's Pulcinella Suite continues the evening's exploration of dialog\, blending the past and present with a modern reimagining of Baroque music. Based on themes attributed to Pergolesi and other composers\, Stravinsky infuses the suite with his distinctive wit and rhythmic vitality\, creating an interplay between tradition and innovation.\n\nThe program concludes with Haydn's majestic "Harmoniemesse\," his final Mass. This deeply spiritual work\, with its rich wind orchestration\, represents an intimate dialog between human devotion and divine transcendence. Together\, these pieces embody the Festival's theme\, sparking profound conversations that transcend time\, culture\, and the boundaries of artistic imagination.\n\n \n\n\nProgram\n\nMENDELSSOHN Midsummer Night's Dream\, A\, op. 21: Overture\n\nSTRAVINSKY Pulcinella: Suite (1949 revision)\n\nI.
