Igudesman & Joo: A Historical and Hysterical Guide to the Orchestra
A lively and comical look at classical music in a series of concerts where humor and pageantry collide in a virtuosic musical wrestling match.
Overtures were originally played as introductions to operas and ballets, but have now become their own independent compositions. My top picks include Mozart's "Le nozze di Figaro," Rossini's "La Gazza Ladra," and Bizet's "Carmen." These overtures have the power to improve our mood and bring a sense of optimism for the new year.
