Echoes from Abroad

The Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra joins forces with the University of Northern Colorado combined chorus to embark on an adventure across Europe. Experience wit, tragedy, and joy from Massenet’s Overture for the Greek tragedy Phèdre to Jacques Ibert’s honeymoon-inspired Ports of Call and Ravel’s only unaccompanied choral piece, Trois Chansons, a cleverly original collection of three fairy tale-like songs. The concert closes with Francis Poulenc’s Gloria, which is described as “borderline sacrilegious” for its mischievous setting of the Catholic Mass texts.

A Human Experience

A Human Experience

Life for us all is filled with moments of great joy, sadness, and every emotion in between. “A Human Experience” explores this vast spectrum through Mozart’s cleverly comedic Cosí fan Tutte Overture, Anna Clyne’s jovial “Masquerade,” and Rachmaninoff’s nostalgic Symphonic Dances. Concluding the season, the GPO is honored to premiere Composer-in-Residence Dylan Fixmer’s Concerto for Electric Cello - a three movement work for solo electric cello and symphony orchestra commissioned for GPO Principal cellist Becky Kutz Osterberg. This new work is based on Becky's experiences navigating lifelong depression and depicts sets of characteristics that embody her emotional journey. Drawing from Becky's first-hand experiences and scientific research on mental illness and trauma psychology, this piece is dedicated to those facing these challenges, shedding light on the often silent agony of navigating mental health issues.

Boldly Brahms: Symphony No. 1 in C minor

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.”
