Ordway, a nationally renowned composer, teacher and conductor, leads the 45-member orchestra in a program consisting of three works.<\/p>\n

The opener is\u00a0Andante Festivo<\/em>, a short piece by the Finnish composer Sibelius, followed by Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 10 in E-flat for Two Pianos, with soloists Glazer and Parakilas. Ordway explains that the 99-year-old Glazer, an artist in residence at Bates since 1980, proposed the Mozart. In rehearsals, he says, the music has been “terrific” — Glazer “plays with a tremendous wisdom and tremendous confidence.”<\/p>\n

Sibelius and Mozart suit each other well, Ordway feels. “They have a certain kinship, a remarkable poise and dignity.” And they pose a pleasing contrast to the Czech composer Dvorak, whose popular Symphony No. 9 in E-minor (“From the New World”) completes the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
