The Bozeman Symphony presents its second performance of the 2024-25 season, “The Rhythms of Beethoven, Rossini, and Akiho,” slated for the weekend of October 12 and 13 at the Willson Auditorium in Bozeman.
The dynamic program features the highly anticipated premiere of acclaimed composer Andy Akiho’s latest work, Nisei: Concerto for Cello and Chamber 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 U.S. 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 will take place on Saturday, Oct. 12, at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 13, at 2:30 p.m. at the Willson Auditorium, 404 West Main Street in downtown Bozeman.
The Bozeman Symphony extends its heartfelt gratitude to the generous sponsors who make these performances possible: Cal & Tricia DeSouza, Gary Kunis & Connie Wong, Kimberlie & Bruce Jodar, and Prof. Rob Maher & Ms. Lynn Peterson-Maher.
