JOHN LEWIS– Blues on Bach
BACH– Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 in F Major, BWV 1046
GERSHWIN– Lullaby

Music Director Eric Jacobsen leads off our Resonate Series with Bach, Gershwin, and John Lewis’ take on Johann Sebastian tunes. Then it’s the exuberant first Brandenburg Concerto that grants a star turn to critically acclaimed Patrick Flanaghan (principal English horn of London’s Royal Philharmonic Orchestra) playing in the exquisite Adagio. Bach, like other composers of his time, liked to “borrow” from the best. So that meant borrowing from himself, of course! 

Please note: The Resonate Festival has been relocated to a new venue due to ongoing construction at The Plaza Live. The Festival will now be held at Winter Park Event Center, including the Prelude Concert on Tuesday, January 30. This performance space offers plenty of seating with individual chairs for patrons and plenty of space for our musicians and guest artists. There is also plenty of free parking on site at the Event Center. There is not a bag policy at the Winter Park Event Center. However, the OPO has a strict prohibited items policy you can find here for all concerts and events. Tickets for these concerts will be extremely limited and at the time only All Access Passes are on sale. Tickets will not be mailed for the Resonate Festival, rather All Access Passes will be distributed at the door on your first performance.
