Page 2 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2023 Brahms Symphony No. 4 Highlights North Shore Philharmonic "Fall" Concert Nov. 19 T he North Shore Philharmonic Orchestra will honor the memory of one of its most beloved and longstanding members, clarinetist Murray Burnstine, when Music Director Robert Lehmann conducts the NSPO in its Fall concert to begin the 2023-2024 season on Sunday, November 19, 3:00 p.m. at Swampscott High School. The "Murray Burnstine Memorial Concert" program includes Johannes Brahms brilliant Fourth Symphony and music of French composers Gabriel Faure and Cecile Chaminade, with fl utist Lisa Hennessy as guest soloist in Chaminade’s "Concertino for Flute." Burnstine, who played clarinet with the NSPO for nearly 30 years, died in June at the age of 94. "Murray was self-deprecating and easy going, with a dry sense of humor, yet fi ercely dedicated to his music," said Music Director Lehmann. "He was an experienced, veteran player in many genres, always up for something challenging and new and he loved making music with his colleagues." Lehmann touted the concert program.

"Faure’s Masques et Bergamasques epitomizes this sensibility in that it pays homage to France's rich musical and literary heritage. Brahms, on the other hand, was expected to represent the traditional Teutonic world of rich, heavy and 'learned' compositional elements." Lehmann noted, though, that Brahms "… slyly pays homage to the same "Classical" elements while pushing the limits of what could be accomplished in developing a whole 45-minute symphony from one strand of musical DNA."
