A holiday classic, Tchaikovsky\u2019s The Nutcracker suite extracts popular tunes from the eponymous ballet, including the \u201cDance of the Sugar Plum Fairy,\u201d and the Russian \u201cTrepak\u201d, before concluding with the well-known \u201cWaltz of the Flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vanessa Yu, Grand Prize Winner of the 2023 International Music Festival and Competition performs Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns\u2019 Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 5 subtitled \u201cThe Egyptian,\u201d Saint-Saens composed this piece while vacationing in Egypt and included Middle-Eastern pitch and rhythmic influences, particularly in the second movement, while noting that the piece was meant to depict \u201ca voyage at sea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rounding off the program is another sea voyage in Debussy\u2019s impressionist work La mer. Debussy refers to La mer as a symphonic sketch and divided the work into three parts: \u201cFrom Dawn to Noon on the Sea,\u201d \u201cPlay of the Waves,\u201d and \u201cDialogue of the Wind and Waves.\u201d<\/p>\n
