We keep our eyes and ears on Utah talent, for our March program. Schubert’s beloved Overture to Die Zauberharfe will open the concert. Also known as the Overture to Rosamunde, the work delights audiences and players alike with its memorable melodies and perfectly balanced writing. The program will also present a world-premiere by Utah composer Andrew Maxfield for soprano and orchestra. Featuring guest artist Michelle Pedersen, Snowdrifts uses evocative poetry from several renown poets, including one you may not recognize as a published writer, our music director, Robert Baldwin. The program will conclude with the Symphony No. 1 in C major by Ludwig van Beethoven. This work will highlight our string and woodwind sections with wonderfully energetic motives and memorable writing, a trademark of the symphonic writing from one of the world’s greatest composers.
