University of New Hampshire Symphony Orchestra - Orchestral Music of Vaclav Nelhybel, Vol. 1 (2022)

Widely well known for his significant contribution to the repertoires for wind band and wind chamber music, Nelhybel also wrote numerous and varied compositions for orchestras, including collaborative pieces such as concertos, operas, and choral-orchestral works. Like his compositions for winds, these orchestral works were written for a wide range of ensembles, from elementary school string orchestras to advanced university and professional groups. This recording project by the University of New Hampshire Orchestra program seeks to celebrate and promote these lesser-known orchestral compositions of Vaclav Nelhybel, focusing on works appropriate for more advanced educational and professional orchestras.
