Divertimento Orchestra's upcoming concert, Heart’s Lament, explores music born of sorrow, longing, and emotional depth. Dvořák’s "The Wild Dove" tells a chilling tale of guilt and grief, where a haunting melody traces the path of a woman tormented by remorse. Chaminade’s "Concertino for Flute" may shimmer on the surface, but beneath its charm lies a sense of yearning—perhaps reflecting the composer’s own struggles for recognition in a male-dominated musical world. We close with Brahms’ "Symphony No. 4", his final symphony and a work of profound melancholy, culminating in a powerful final movement modeled after a Bach chaconne—a form traditionally used to express lament. Each piece offers a different shade of heartbreak, brought to life through beautiful melodies.

With guest conductor, Emmanuelle Lambert-Lemoine
