DAVID LITTLE Screamer
PROKOFIEV Peter and the Wolf
JOHN CORIGLIANO Symphony No. 3, "Circus Maximus"
The four-week carnival goes to the center ring with musical giants and tigers and wolves, oh my! The evening opens with a quick work by David Little, who imagines a circus very nearly out of control—in laughter, music, and mayhem. Prokofiev's classic and triumphal tale of a heroic boy and threatening wolf takes center stage, only to be followed by a crazy and gargantuan musical portrayal of the Circus Maximus from ancient Rome. Here, bigger-than-life entertainments stand as humorous commentary on our own busy and bustling lives.
