What to listen for
In the Holiday POPs concert, listeners can expect a soprano voice woven into a program of seasonal favorites, likely arranged for orchestra with festive orchestration and audience-friendly familiarity. The Symphonic Gloria program is more substantial: it opens with an excerpt from Smetana's opera The Bartered Bride, moves to Rachmaninoff's Vocalise, a wordless song that lets the voice function as a pure instrument of melody, then Brahms's Nänie, a choral meditation on mortality and beauty, before closing with Poulenc's Gloria. This last work calls on the soprano soloist to rise above chorus and orchestra in brief, luminous solo passages set against Poulenc's blend of solemnity and playful brightness, alternating hushed lyrical lines with the full choral and orchestral forces.
