VERDI............La Forza del Destino Overture

VERDI............Prelude, Triumphal March, and Ballet from Aida

ROSSINI.........Stabat Mater

Maximiano Valdes, guest conductor

Virginia Symphony Chorus and soloists

In this celebration of Italian music, the operatic styles of Verdi and Rossini are highlighted. The angst-filled opening chords of La Forza del Destino and lively sounds of Aida are a stark contrast to the reverent tones of Stabat Mater. Two Italian composers, two very different styles.
