The Bay Atlantic Symphony performs Arthur Foote’s Serenade, Op. 25, Bach’s Violin Concerto in A minor with violinist Ruotao Mao, and Isaac Albeniz’s España. The center of Bach’s violin concerto is a breathtakingly lyrical middle movement with a sweeping melody of spiritual dimensions, shared between the soloist and orchestra. It is bookended by jaunty movements, the last being a gigue (jig). American composer Arthur Foote’s Serenade sings to us with bucolic grace and rhapsody. Albéniz’s España takes us on a sensual tour of picturesque regions throughout Spain.
