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.
