Event Description
Christopher James Lees, conductor
Taylor Marino, clarinet
SMETANA Vltava (“The Moldau”) from Má vlast
Malek JANDALI Clarinet Concerto
Clarice ASSAD Sin Fronteras
RAVEL Boléro (with film)
In a program dedicated to musical expressions of home, Smetana’s Vltava traces the river’s journey through the Czech countryside, offering a stirring tribute to his homeland. Charlotte-based Syrian composer Malek Jandali’s Clarinet Concerto weaves ancient Syrian themes into an expressive and deeply personal work. Clarice Assad transcends borders, blending sounds from across the Americas into a vibrant musical tapestry in Sin Fronteras.
The program comes to a mesmerizing close with Ravel’s Boléro featuring a film that showcases the dynamic spirit of Charlotte through iconic locations — a powerful tribute to the Orchestra’s home and the musicians who shape its sound.

Belk Theater features state-of-the-art equipment, production and support capabilities and can host any event, from grand opera to rock to corporate annual meetings and lectures.
The theater features a contemporary European horseshoe arrangement for an intimate atmosphere and world-class acoustics. The most distant seat is less than 135 feet from the stage.
A hallmark of the theater’s design is some 2,400 “points of light” in the audience chamber, part of a dazzling fiber optic network with multi-color capabilities.
Renowned architect Cesar Pelli designed the Performing Arts Center, which opened in 1992, as well as the adjacent Bank of America Corporate Center and Founders Hall. The Center’s name honors the contributions of the people of the state of North Carolina as well as the generosity of the Blumenthal Foundation, the largest private donor to the capital campaign.
