An emotional work featuring a record-sized string section
Music Director Norman Huynh’s final Classical Series concert of the 2022/23 season will leave the audience yearning for more, set for June 10th and 11th at Downtown Bozeman’s Willson Auditorium. Mahler’s Titan Symphony No. 1 is a symphonic poem of the joys and tribulations of the human experience and will feature the largest string section the Bozeman Symphony has ever performed with. Violinist Simone Porter, known as a musician “on the cusp of a major career,” (LA Times) will perform Barber’s beautiful yet complex Concerto for Violin and Orchestra.
“A performance of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 is a testament to the technical prowess of an orchestra,” says Music Director Norman Huynh. “However, it is also a spiritual and emotional journey that can transport both performers and audience members to a realm of profound beauty, introspection, and transcendence.”
Violinist Simone Porter has been recognized as an emerging artist of impassioned energy, interpretive integrity, and vibrant communication. In the past few years she has debuted with the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and with a number of renowned conductors, including Stéphane Denève, Gustavo Dudamel, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Nicholas McGegan, Ludovic Morlot, and Donald Runnicles.
Performances will be held in person on Saturday, June 10th at 7:30pm and Sunday, June 11th at 2:30pm, at the Willson Auditorium in downtown Bozeman. These performances would not be possible without strong community support and sponsorship. Bozeman Symphony wishes to thank Joanne and Billy Berghold, Stephen Schachman and Ritva Porter, and Drs.
