The Bozeman Symphony continues its 2024-25 concert season, a celebration of “Music That Moves Us,” with The Rhythms of Beethoven, Rossini & Akiho featuring cellist Jeffrey Zeigler. Norman Huynh conducts.
Performances will be held on Saturday, October 12th, at 7:30pm, and Sunday, October 13th, at 2:30pm. Both will be held at the Willson Auditorium in Downtown Bozeman with pre-concert talks scheduled to begin one hour prior.
The dynamic program features the highly anticipated premiere of acclaimed composer Andy Akiho’s latest work, Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, performed by the extraordinary Jeffrey Zeigler, former cellist of the renowned Kronos Quartet. As a co-commissioner of this innovative piece, the Bozeman Symphony is thrilled to offer its patrons one of the first opportunities in the nation to experience this musical milestone.
The concert opens with the exuberant Overture to The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini, famous for its blend of humor and romance. This iconic overture, known for its infectious melodies, has charmed audiences since its debut in 1816, and continues to find its way into the hearts of many through its frequent use in cartoons, films and advertisements.
Audiences will also revel in the pulsating rhythms and profound energy of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, a piece celebrated not only for its vibrant score but also for being a personal favorite of the composer himself. Under the expert baton of Maestro Norman Huynh, Beethoven’s masterpiece promises to deliver a transcendent musical experience that resonates deeply with listeners.
Performances are Oct. 12th at 7:30pm and Oct. 13th at 2:30pm at the Willson Auditorium in Downtown Bozeman. Individual tickets are available for purchase online at www.bozemansymphony.org or by phone at (406) 585-9774. Tickets at the door based on availability.
