Blackberry Winter
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
When you have a late Spring frost in the South, you know the blackberry crop is going to be spectacular. They call it a "Blackberry Winter" — we'll hear a charming musical version of this colloqiualism tonight by Conni Ellisor; Paul Gambill leads the Nashville Symphony, joined by Stephan Seifert on the Dulcimer and Tennessee Music Box.
We'll hear another nature-oriented work in Morton Gould's "Fall River Legend" from the New Zealand Symphony, and "A Little Night Music" also comes our way with Mozart's famous serenade. The Kirov Orchestra under Valery Gergiev explores Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony later in the evening; you can hear them live tomorrow night at Avery Fisher Hall as they complete their cycle of all the Shostakovich symphonies.
