The concert on February 21 at Moody Performance Hall will feature works by Elgar, Vaughan Williams, and Reinecke.
“Interestingly, Vaughan Williams was really an atheist, more of an agnostic towards the end of his life, but he often dabbled in religious themes for inspiration so there’s a very rich imagery to a lot of his works,” McKay said.
“Vaughan Williams, in my opinion, is one of those composers who the more you get to know his body of work, the more you really appreciate him as a composer. People very often don’t realize just how vast it is, how many symphonies he wrote, and how many different works from different genres he was able to produce. The symphonies are a very remarkable, colorful work of orchestration and themes. It’s very innovative.
While the work is often performed by youth ensembles, McKay hopes the professional orchestra will bring out its artistic richness and surprise audiences. McKay is using this program to develop the string sections, especially as the orchestra prepares for its May 23 concert featuring Beethoven’s“When we do take on projects, I want to take on projects that set the orchestra up to perform successfully and to experience types of music-making that can translate to other types of music-making,” McKay said.
