  • John F Welsh auditorium Casper (map)

Wyoming Symphony Orchestra

Sandy Cameron

GUZZO - Wyoming Voices

BRUCH - Violin Concerto no. 1

DVORAK - Symphony no. 7

Opening the March concert is Anne Guzzo’s 2004 composition Wyoming Voices. Guzzo, whose compositions have been performed by ensembles world-wide, is a Wyoming native and a professor at the University of Wyoming. 

 

Violinist Sandy Cameron, one of the most striking musicians of her generation and a frequent collaborator of composer Danny Elfman, will be joining the WSO to bring to life Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto. As one of the most popular and well-regarded pieces of music in solo violin repertoire, its spirited, gypsy-flavored ending will transition us perfectly into the final piece of the concert.

 

The evening will close with a performance of Dvorak’s Symphony No 7. Dvorak is a composer whose work is largely characterized by its brightness and folk-themed melodies; this piece, however, has a much more dramatic tone that builds to an impassioned final movement, ending the concert on a grand note.
