MORNING MATINEES PRESENTED BY THE HELEN TORRES FOUNDATION
GREAT BRITAIN!
THURSDAY, MAY 6 AT 11AM
Led by Chelsea Gallo, this program is a whirlwind tour of Great Britain — from royal pomp to movie magic, with plenty of charm along the way. You’ll hear the swagger of the James Bond Theme , the spellbinding world of John Williams’ Harry Potter music, and the colorful, anything-can-happen energy of Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra . In the spotlight, TFO Principal Percussionist John Shaw takes on Arcangelo Corelli’s La Folia — reimagined for marimba in a showpiece that’s equal parts virtuosic and fun. From stately to cinematic, it’s a lively, feel-good journey through the sounds of Britain.
