• “Dances and Songs for Strings, Wood and Winds: Colorful Voices in Concert”

  The Hot Springs/Hot Springs Village Symphony Guild is delighted to continue its 2025–2026 Classic Concert Series with Dances and Songs for Strings, Wood and Winds: Colorful Voices in Concert, a compelling collaboration between Little Rock Winds musicians Susan Antonetti (flute), Jonathan Tomasello (marimba), Gabriel Womack (alto saxophone), Janice Bengston (Clarinet), Jason Brannon (Bassoon), Mary Ritch (French horn), and Arkansas Symphony Orchestra principal harpist Alisa Bekebrede (née Coffey). Their program, Dances and Songs for Strings, Wood and Winds: Colorful Voices in Concert will be performed on Sunday, March 8 at 3:00 p.m. at Presbyterian Kirk in the Pines (275 Asturias Drive). General admission is $10. Tickets can be purchased at symphonyguild.org (your email confirmation serves as your ticket) or at the door. The concert will last approximately one hour and will be followed by a meet-and-greet with the artists.

  Dances and Songs for Strings, Wood and Winds: Colorful Voices in Concert presents a vibrant journey through a diverse array of chamber and solo works, each rich in color, character, and emotion. Sergei Golovko’s Charanga Salada pulses with the rhythms and spirit of Cuban dance, as flute and marimba engage in lively dialogue. Jean-Michel Damase’s Sicilienne Variée transforms a gentle dance theme into a series of graceful, virtuosic variations for harp, while Georges Barboteu’s Trio for Horn, Flute, and Harp balances warmth and brilliance across its contrasting instruments. J. S. Bach’s Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major flows with timeless elegance on marimba, offering clarity and emotional depth. Claude Debussy’s Children’s Corner brings playful charm and tender lyricism to the marimba, and David Maslanka’s Song Book explores intimate, meditative moments on alto saxophone and marimba. Jenni Brandon’s Spider Suite spins whimsical tales through flute, clarinet, and bassoon, and Robert Muczynski’s Exit from Fragments concludes the program with bold, energetic interplay that leaves listeners exhilarated. Together, these works celebrate imagination, virtuosity, and the expressive power of small ensembles and solo instruments.

  About the Program

  Sergei Golovko’s vibrant piece, Charanga Salada, a Cuban dance for Flute and Marimba, draws on the rhythms and spirit of Cuban dance. The bright, agile voice of the flute blends with the rich sonorities of the marimba, creating a lively dialogue full of energy and color.

  Also inspired by dance, Jean-Michel Damase’s Sicilienne Variée presents a graceful set of variations on the gentle rhythm of the sicilienne. True to his elegant and lyrical style, Damase transforms the lilting theme into a series of vivid variations that highlight both expressive melody and the harpist’s dazzling virtuosity. The work captures his signature mix of charm, wit, and refinement.

  Georges Barboteu’s Trio for Horn, Flute, and Harp combines three very different voices: the noble horn, the lyrical flute, and the shimmering harp. The result is a colorful and elegant chamber work that balances warmth, brilliance, and intimacy.

  Perhaps J. S. Bach’s most famous work for solo cello, the Prelude from Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major unfolds as a continuous stream of broken chords, combining clarity, elegance, and emotional depth. Its timeless beauty has made it a cornerstone of the cello repertoire, which translates especially well for marimba, the instrument on which it is performed in this concert.

  Claude Debussy wrote Children’s Corner as a set of six piano pieces for his young daughter, evoking the charm of childhood. From playful exercises to tender lullabies, each miniature paints a character or scene. Performed on the marimba, today’s program features: Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum — a witty take on piano finger exercises; and Serenade for the Doll — a gentle, lyrical piece that imagines a doll coming to life.

  David Maslanka’s Song Book for Alto Saxophone and Marimba is a collection of short, lyrical movements that explore memory, loss, and joy. Each “song” carries a personal, almost meditative quality, as if capturing a fleeting emotional moment. Selected movements include: Song for Davy, Lost, Song for Allison, and Hymn Tune with Four Variations.

  Jenni Brandon’s playful Spider Suite for Flute, Clarinet, and Bassoon spins a musical web of imagination, telling the story of a spider’s adventures. Each movement brings a fresh scene, from stealthy entrances to lively dances. Selections from the suite include Along Came a Spider, Spinning Song, and The End of the Day…Begin Again.

  Exit, the final movement from Fragments for Flute, Clarinet, and Bassoon by Robert Muczynski bursts with rhythmic vitality and bold, angular lines that highlight the character of each instrument. Written with the composer’s trademark energy and clarity, the music drives forward with wit, color, and momentum. Though concise, the piece feels complete in its own right, offering a spirited showcase of interplay and leaving listeners with an exhilarating finish.

  The Hot Springs/Hot Springs Village Symphony Guild is pleased to conclude its 2025–2026 Classic Concert Series with The Williams–Spielberg Collaborations — A Film Music Lecture.

  ASO Violinist, music librarian and String Academy faculty member Dr. Geronimo Oyenard will reprise his highly acclaimed lecture from the University of Central Arkansas (March 2026), joined by a string quartet comprised of members of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. Together, they will explore the musical partnership between legendary composer John Williams and director Steven Spielberg through live demonstrations of the main themes from their films, accompanied by corresponding film clips shown on multiple overhead screens.

  The program will take place on Sunday, May 17 at 3:00 p.m. at Village Bible Church, 100 Ponderosa Way, Hot Springs Village, Arkansas.

  General admission: $10. Tickets are available at symphonyguild.org (your email confirmation serves as your ticket) or at the door. The event will last approximately one hour and will be followed by a meet-and-greet with the artists.

  About the Program

  Step behind the scores of one of cinema’s greatest creative partnerships — composer John Williams and director Steven Spielberg. Spanning over five decades and 29 feature films (soon to be 30), their collaboration has produced some of the most iconic soundtracks in film history.

  In this engaging lecture-demonstration, a string quartet will perform and analyze key musical themes from Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, and more. The program combines live performance with projected film and music clips, offering audiences a deeper understanding of how Williams’ music elevates Spielberg’s storytelling.

  As part of the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra’s ongoing lecture series, Dr. Oyenard explores the rich world of film music across a wide spectrum of topics. In addition to his past presentations for the ASO (Star Wars, Elmer Bernstein, DC/Marvel superheroes/villains), Dr. Oyenard has lectured in both academic settings (University of Oklahoma, UCA) as well as more informal settings (comic book and pop culture conventions). His presentations range from beloved franchises—Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, James Bond, Batman and other Marvel and DC superheroes—to the prolific works of Hans Zimmer. Covering more than a century of music, he traces the art form from the earliest silent films (including Charlie Chaplin, who not only acted and produced but also composed and played violin) to the iconic scores of masters such as Ennio Morricone, famed for his “spaghetti westerns,” and Elmer Bernstein. Each lecture is brought to life with musical excerpts performed by a string quartet comprised of Dr. Oyenard and ASO musicians Leanne Day-Simpson (violin), Lauren Pokorzynski (viola), and Joanna Klett (cello), and enriched by multimedia visuals and insightful commentary.

  About the Artist

  Dr. Geronimo Oyenard is the ASO’s music librarian and a member of the String Academy faculty. Originally from Uruguay, he now resides in Little Rock, Arkansas. A passionate educator and performer, Dr. Oyenard has extensive experience in pedagogy, chamber music, and Baroque repertoire. He enjoys arranging music from films, TV, and video games for strings.

  Dr. Oyenard studied at the College of Charleston, the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and the University of Oklahoma, where he completed his Doctor of Musical Arts degree. His teaching experience includes positions at the University of Oklahoma, Norman School for Strings, UNCSA Community Music School, Performing Arts Institute of Virginia, Bluefield State College, and the Roanoke Symphony, among others. He is a certified Suzuki instructor and currently teaches with the Dallas Symphony’s Young Musicians program and Founders Classical Academy in Plano and Rockwall ISDs.
