The Claremont Symphony Orchestra will offer a program evoking the landscapes and cultures of four European regions, 3:30 p.m. Sunday, March 15, at Bridges Hall of Music, Pomona College.

The free concert will be conducted by CSO associate conductor Ruth Charloff. CSO music director Robert Sage will appear as featured performer on the piano.

“Our music has to do with how places feel, what it’s like to be there,” said Charloff. “For this program I’ve selected works from Italy, Spain, England, and France, with each piece deeply rooted in its geographical place, both countryside and culture.”

The concert opens with the Overture to Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “La forza del destino,” or “The Force of Destiny.”

The program continues with Manuel de Falla’s symphonic impressions of the Andalusian area of southern Spain in “Nights in the Gardens of Spain.”

Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1 transforms folk songs that the composer himself collected into a beautiful evocation of the countryside on the eastern coast of England. The concert concludes with the well-known L’Arlesienne Suite No. 2, Georges Bizet’s lively music composed for a play set in the rural areas of southern France.
