Fiesta program The Philadelphia Orchestra

"Fiesta" July 17th Philadelphia Orchestra

Miguel Harth-Bedoya, following his successful Bravo debut last summer, returns with another thrilling program with Latin flare. The “Fiesta” program on July 17 reflects Ravel’s love of Spanish music with two of his most famous pieces being performed—Rhapsodie Espagnole and Bolero. Enrique Iturriaga’s Sinfonia Junin y Ayacucho and Turina’s Danzas fantásticas will also be performed. The “Fiesta” night will be an energetic and fiery evening of classical music for people of all ages. “Maestro Harth-Bedoya has a unique and passionate connection to this repertoire and the vibrant Philadelphia Orchestra has the perfect sound to bring these works to life,” says Bravo’s Lynne Maaza.

Who doesn’t love cake? – Trying to narrow down not only your cake design but your cake flavor can be a daunting task. With so many options for cakes, it is very hard to choose. Considering that wedding cake was originally not eaten by the bride but broken over her head it is surprising that we put so much effort into our cake selections. As wedding cakes became larger and more elaborate, thankfully this tradition was lost. The cutting of the cake these days is very symbolic and is said to represent the mutual commitment of the bride and groom to each other. Therefore, the wedding cake is a fine way to incorporate your own personal style. With so many great cake designers these days anything is possible. Get playful and creative with your selection, and enjoy your cake, too.

In light of the economic times, Bravo has amped up its free music education programs and performances. Over 40 free public performances are scheduled at libraries, churches, parks, and the hospital.

The National Repertory Orchestra will perform a free family concert July 16 at the Ford Amphitheater. There will be several Performance Preludes and pre-concert discussions.

The youth education programs remain strong with the Instrument Petting Zoo, a traveling exhibit that gives kids hands-on experience with instruments, and the Young Composers Project, a program that teaches children how to compose music and hear it performed by members of the New York Philharmonic. Eight-year-old Elizabeth Consiten participated in last year’s Young Composers Project and is eager to participate again. “It was awesome,” said Consiten.
