five musicians, principals of the brandenburg symphony, have put together an unusual ensemble as a result of a desire to experiment with new sounds. Through its music, the Jacaranda ensemble builds a bridge between the cultures of the world. The positive response of the public as well as international respect has conflrmed the unusual concept of the Jacaranda ensemble.

Korsakov's Scheherazade"

This talk seeks to link Rimsky-

Korsakov"s Scheherazade to

Antoine Galland"s Les Mille et

the Oriental woman.

The stabat mater describes the suffering of mary, mother of

Jesus, as her son is crucifled.

rossini's stabat mater combines two entirely different styles of composition: traditional church music in the renaissance manner of palestrina and pergolesi, and arias that would not sound out of place in a typical rossini opera. it was described as "noble, simple and severe."

SYNOPSIS

medea tells a portion of the classic tale of one of the great sorceresses of the ancient world of the same name, who falls in love with Jason.

s he uses her magic to help him obtain the g olden f leece (symbol of authority and kingship). s he even kills her own brother to ensure that Jason and her escape c olchis (ancient kingdom and region on the coast of the b lack s ea) with the fleece. c herubini's opera begins after Jason and m edea are married, after she bears him two children. Their past history together is important to understand why m edea becomes desperate for revenge against Jason. a s the opera opens, Jason has forsaken m edea to marry g lauce, the daughter of c reon. s he poisons g lauce on her wedding night. b ut g lauce's death does not slake her hunger for revenge, so then she murders her own children.

Jason is crushed with sorrow.

m edea returns to the temple and sets it on fire, and she escapes before both the temple and the palace go up in flames. Medea is an Opera that is rarely performed. It has been said that it requires a soprano with vocal cords of amalgamated steel to sing the title role of MEDEA and Svetla Vassileva has it.
