Boldly Brahms: Symphony No. 1 in C minor
Signature Series No. 1
Dance across America, Argentina, and the Alps with thundering drums, rising strings, and lyrical winds. The Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra opens their 2024-2025 season with von Suppe’s waltz-like Morning, Noon and Night in Vienna Overture. Ira Hearshen’s reimagining of American band composer John Philip Sousa’s march “The Thunderer'' builds anxiety before a triumphant resolution. Enjoy the patriotic folk dances of Argentina in the four movements of Alberto Ginastera's Estancia. Close the evening with Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 in C minor. Nearly 20 years in the making, it’s said the finale speaks of “deliverance and peace” unfolding to “unrestrained triumph.”
