Discover your wild side as we open our 2014-2015 concert season with this thrilling performance full of surprises. We’ll begin with American composer Kenneth Fuchs’s tribute to the vast landscape of the American West accompanied by a stunningly beautiful presentation of photography from Bozeman’s very own Thomas Lee. Next, we’ll team up with students from the Bozeman High School Art Department, displaying their inter-pretation of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. And for a truly wild finish, Alexander Markov, one of the world’s greatest violin virtuosos, returns to Bozeman for the first time in a decade to captivate you with the awe-inspiring virtuosity of Niccolo Paganini’s second violin concerto.

Join us for a quick getaway to the “City of Love” with this evening of music by French composers.

Ravel’s gentle homage to the 17th and 18th century—the golden era of French music—will set the tone for an evening of sumptuous sounds. Next, we welcome the Associate Principal Cellist of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Jolyon Pegis, performing the cellistic fireworks and Spanish flair of Édouard Lalo’s Cello Concerto in D minor. To complete the evening we’ll tackle César Franck’s Symphony in D, widely considered to be his most popular work, and his greatest achievement.

Get ready to be wowed, and to laugh all night in this Holiday spectacular.Current Principal Trumpet for the Dallas Symphony and former Principal Trumpet for the world famous Canadian Brass, Ryan Anthony is known as one of the greatest trumpet-ers and entertainers in the world today. Having performed many times with Maestro Savery, Ryan convinced Matthew to work together on writing a new and humorous Christmas extravaganza. You’ll see them both ham it up while simultaneously being amazed at Ryan’s incredible talent. Join us as we perform Trumpet Voluntary, The Little Drummer Boy, The Christmas Song, Deck the Horn, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, music from Polar Express, and much, much more.

Escape your winter doldrums as we serenade you with beautiful music designed to warm both your heart and soul.

The evening begins playfully with the jaunty and festive ballet music from Mozart’s opera Idome-neo. Next we’ll charm you with Dvořák’s beauti-ful serenade for wind instruments, influenced heavily by his hero Johannes Brahms, and written as a tribute to the form made popular by Mozart himself. Finally, we conclude with what is widely considered one of Haydn’s greatest achieve-ments—the profound, tender, and humorous Symphony no. 102 in B-flat major.

Special Guests

Kenneth Fuchs and

We return to a newly renovated Willson Audi-torium—back to our normal schedule of TWO performances, with this grand celebration.

Dmitri Shostakovich’s Festive Overture trumpets in the occasion as we open this very special concert event. Next, commissioned by the Bozeman Symphony in honor of Maestro Savery’s 20th anniversary as Music Director, and inspired by the beautiful panoramic vistas of Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, we’ll present the world premiere of American composer Kenneth Fuchs’s Glacier (Concerto for Electric Guitar and Orchestra). The program concludes with the second suite of Prokofiev’s powerful interpretation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

Ode to Joy!

We conclude our 47th concert season with the Master’s masterpiece—the powerful and exultant 9th Symphony of Ludwig van Beethoven.

It’s considered not only one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, but one of the greatest achievements of the Human Spirit. With its highly innovative structure of emotional depth, intensity and musical splendor, and its powerful and jubilant chorus celebrating the brotherhood of mankind, the 9th speaks a universal truth just as relevant today as it was when composed in 1824. With a quartet of renowned soloists, and our Symphonic Choir enhanced by special guests the MSU University Chorus, this program prom-ises to be our most inspirational concert ever.
