National winner
of the 2010 American Prize for Orchestral Performance in the community
orchestra division, Mercury Orchestra performs great works in the symphonic
repertoire. Under Music Director Channing Yu, the Mercury Orchestra performs
two rarely heard orchestral works: Charles Villiers Stanford's Phaudrig Crohoore (An Irish Ballad) with
chorus, and Amy Beach’s "Gaelic" Symphony in E minor. Beach’s work
was the first symphony composed and published by a female American composer,
and it premiered in Boston in October 1896. Both works make a connection with
Boston’s storied Irish heritage.
