Eugene Symphony principal cellist Anne Ridlington
evocative pieces of American
music. It begins with a single,
sustained note, eventually
joined by the elongated
melodies and extended suspen-
sions that create a great unre-
solved harmonic tension.
Ridlington will play Haydn’s
gracefully athletic Concerto in
her first solo spotlight.
The piece begins with a
long sonata form movement
that develops two relaxed and
lyrical melodies, and which
allows for a long solo cadenza.
The middle movement fea-
tures a songlike melody from
the cello, alternating with con-
trasting material.
The concerto ends with
high-spirited and flashy rondo.
The first movement of
Beethoven’s
“Pastorale”
begins with Awakening of
Cheerful
Feelings
Upon
Arriving in the Country.
The following Scene by the
Brook unfolds with aptly flow-
ing grace. At the very end,
Beethoven has woodwinds imi-
tate birds with a flute as a
nightingale, and oboe as a
quail, and a clarinet as a cuck-
oo.
Individual tickets are $30
per adult and $10 for those
under 18. Tickets are available

the Florence Events Center box
