“Escape to Hope” – Fort Collins Symphony
The Fort Collins Symphony closes its season with a concert featuring three magnificent and hopeful works. Emmy-nominated American composer Michael Abels wrote Global Warming to describe the warming of international relations in 1990. The composition explores the similarities he heard in the music of various cultures. Claude Debussy’s Nocturnes was inspired by symbolist poet Henri de Régnier and conjures images of clouds, festivals, and enchanting sirens. The season closes with Ukrainian composer Sergei Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5, which he wrote to glorify “the grandeur of the human spirit.”
Tickets: $25-67 adult, $10 student/child, $25 livestream
“Escape to Reflection” – Fort Collins Symphony
The Fort Collins Symphony performs an all-strings program featuring music of remembrance and reflection.
This performance features Nigerian composer Chief Olufela Obafunmilayo “Fela” Sowande’s nostalgic African Suite. Living American composer Aaron Jay Kernis’ Elegy (for those we lost) was
written in memory of the victims of Covid-19. In 1937, Benjamin Britten’s Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge was written as a character portrait of his revered teacher. Antonio Vivaldi’s bold Concerto Grosso, Op. 3, No. 11 is a virtuoso work for three string players and orchestra.
