Kelly Hall-Tompkins, Violin

Don your denim!   Our journey out of this world begins at home with a refreshing, down-to-earth Opening Night tribute to American music.  This extraordinary evening begins with the clever and inspired Variations on "America" by Charles Ives, a composer often considered light years ahead of his time.  World-renowned Grammy award-winning violinist and composer Mark O'Connor takes the stage, joined by rising star Kelly Hall-Tompkins, for his Double Violin Concerto, a fusion of American music styles including Dixieland.  Tap into your bold American spirit during Copland's folksy and iconic Appalachian Spring.  Then, you're an American in Paris, reveling in the fun and excitement of the City of Light-with Gershwin as your guide!

Ives : Variations on "America"
O'Connor : Strings & Threads Suite
O'Connor : Double Violin Concerto
Copland : Appalachian Spring
Gershwin  An American in Paris

Free dessert reception for the entire audience immediately following the concert, hosted by the Evansville Philharmonic Crescendo Club.
