2006-07 Pomona
College Orchestra
Repertoire
The Pomona College Orchestra presents four full-length programs each season.
In the four years of a typical college career, a huge amount of music can be
enjoyed and performed. As always, the orchestra’s repertoire includes music in
a wide historical range, from the eighteenth century to the present day. Some pieces
are established masterworks, while others are lesser-known gems that few
musicians ever get the chance to explore.
- Dvořák – Nocturne for strings
- Flaherty – In the Midst of Darkness, Light Persists (with
Cynthia Fogg, viola and Tom Flaherty, cello)
- Mozart – Overture to Don
Giovanni
- Orff – Carmina Burana (with the Pomona College Choir, Prof.
Donna M. Di Grazia, director, and vocal soloists TBA)
- Pärt – Fratres (version for string orchestra and percussion)
- Shostakovich – Symphony #9 in E-flat, op. 70
- Robert Simpson – Symphony #7
- Wagner – Die Walküre, Act
III (semi-staged production with Nmon Ford, Vannessa Hulme, Gwendolyn
