Isabelle Durrenberger, violin

Saint-Saëns “Bacchanale” from Samson et Dalila
Wieniawski Violin Concerto No. 2
Orff Carmina Burana

New Year’s Eve is perfectly suited to grand traditions, and we invite you to join us as the ASO continues its tradition of featuring a full program of great music on New Year’s Eve. We also celebrate the tenure of Music Director Daniel Meyer as he leads his final concert as artistic leader of your Asheville Symphony.

The evening opens with the opulent “Bacchanale” from Saint-Saëns’ opera Samson et Dalila. We then continue another tradition of featuring up-and-coming soloists from the Cleveland Institute of Music with Isabelle Durrenberger, as she performs the rhapsodic and romantic Violin Concerto No. 2 by Wieniawski. We cap the evening with one of the most astonishing celebrations in all of music: Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. With a cast of three solo vocalists, the full Asheville Symphony Chorus, and the complete forces of the ASO, this work is filled with the joys of life, love, and lust in a rich, colorful score. It will prove a fitting capstone to Maestro Meyer’s incredible achievements together with the musicians of the ASO, and will encapsulate his deep commitment to enhancing the musical life of Asheville.
