ADELPHI ORCHESTRA: SHOSTAKOVICH @ 50

Music by Shostakovich, Weber, and Gilad Cohen

Join the Adelphi Orchestra for a special concert at Ramapo College’s Sharp Theater as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the legendary composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Under the baton of conductor Kyunghun Kim, the program begins with the World Premiere of Ramapo Professor Gilad Cohen’s Between the Suns, an orchestration of his chamber piece Ten Variations, which was premiered by the Nash Ensemble of London in 2011 and won international awards in the US and Europe. It will be followed by Carl Maria von Weber’s Concerto for Clarinet No. 2 in E-flat major, Op. 74, featuring the talented clarinetist Kingsley Hsieh. The evening culminates in a powerful performance of Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1 in F minor, Op. 10, one of his early masterworks. Don’t miss this exciting musical journey! The concert will be preceded by a pre-concert talk with Gilad Cohen at 7pm. 

The Adelphi Orchestra is a professional, non-profit ensemble acclaimed for its symphonic, chamber, operatic, choral, and dance performances, led by principal conductor Maestro Kyunghun Kim. For over 70 years, the orchestra has been a cornerstone of New Jersey’s cultural landscape and also regularly performs in New York City, consistently offering world-class concerts.

What’s the difference between a fiddle and a violin? In the hands of a celebrated guest soloist with over 50 Symphony Orchestras, who also shreds electric fiddle through fuzz, wah and looping effects …who is called “the future of the Celtic Fiddle” by the Washington Post, and “the Jimi Hendrix of the violin” by the New York Times …who is Bronx born, yet the 9-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion. What’s the difference? Nothing, in the hands of Eileen Ivers. 

Eileen’s new, energetic, joyous and passionate band, Universal Roots, connect music, cultures, stories and emotions that tie us together …celebrating the fact that we are more alike than dissimilar. Music truly is the universal language. 

It would not be a 25th season without Eileen Ivers, who has performed at the Berrie Center more than any other artist! Join us as we welcome her back to our stage!

Ellis Island: Gateway to a Dream
Mar. 14
10:00 am - 01:00 pm

Ellis Island: Gateway to a Dream is appropriate for ages 6 through adult and addresses Learning Standards for English Language Arts and Social Studies Learning Standards.

A high-spirited musical about courage, hope, and the challenges of the immigration experience, “Ellis Island” celebrates the multi-cultural foundations of our nation with wonder, action, and heart. How far would you travel to find a better life? What if the journey took weeks under difficult conditions? If you answered “Whatever it takes,” you echo the feelings of the 12 million immigrants who came to America between 1892 and 1954. Ellis Island afforded them the opportunity to attain the American dream for themselves and their descendants.

This blistering and poignant prequel to Arthur Miller’s The Crucible takes a close look at the four young girls at the center of the Salem Witch trials, reimagining the world from their perspectives. Monahon’s play creates a powerful counterpoint that highlights the issues of gender and power that are central to Miller’s canonical work, reframing and reclaiming the concept of the “witch hunt.”
