Shadow & Light
Flint Symphony Orchestra
Enrique Diemecke music director and conductor
Elena Ariza cello
2025 William C. Byrd Young Artist Competition Winner
Program
Antonín Dvořák Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 140, B. 191
Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky Manfred Symphony, Op. 58
The restless yearning of Tchaikovsky’s Manfred Symphony and the rich voice of Dvořák’s cello concerto together explore the poignant beauty of longing, loss and redemption—where the darkness of sorrow is complemented by the sweetness of light.
Cellist and Julliard doctoral fellow Elena Ariza appears with the FSO as winner of the 2025 William C. Byrd Young Artist Competition, sponsored by the St. Cecilia Society. The competition, begun by long-time FSO conductor William C. Byrd, has been awarded to young musicians since 1970, and has been an invaluable contribution to the careers of the many winners who’ve gone on to achieve impressive musical success.
