Featuring Anna Shelest, Piano | We kick off our 59th season with Kodály’s brilliant orchestral work, Dances of Galánta, a piece that links the musical cultures of Western and Eastern Europe. Influenced by Rachmaninoff, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky, the Ukrainian composer Sergei Bortkiewicz composed this lush and deeply emotional Piano Concerto No. 1 in 1912; Ukrainian Pianist Anna Shelest joins the Longmont Symphony to bring this rarely performed gem to the Front Range. And the LSO performs Brahms’s most popular symphony to round out this program of cultural connections. 

Join us for the Pre-Concert talk at 6pm.

Featuring Sharon Roffman, Violin | Sharon Roffman returns to Longmont to perform Brahms’ beloved Violin Concerto, and your Longmont Symphony performs one of Prokofiev’s most enduring works, Symphony No. 5. Composed in 1944 as Russian troops were advancing on Nazi forces, this symphony expresses heroism, tragedy, and the resilience of the human spirit.

Join the Longmont Symphony for a whimsical and unforgettable journey through Michael Close’s A Child’s Book of Animals, where you’ll hop with frogs, soar with seagulls, dive with octopuses and meet a swan with big dreams of becoming a rapper. The program also features the exhilarating finale of Sibelius’ Symphony No. 2, performed side-by-side with the talented musicians from the Longmont Youth Symphony, and a showcase of the winner of our new Concerto Competition. It’s a concert full of imagination, inspiration and extraordinary music for all ages.

Featuring Clancy Newman, Cello | Clancy Newman is back with the Longmont Symphony to continue exploring the cello repertoire in all its glory. In Strauss’s 45-minute tone poem, the solo cello represents the Don — a self-proclaimed (and not so sound of mind!) knight errant who believes windmills are giants and sheep are an invading army. Also on the program is Tchaikovsky’s Variations for Cello and Orchestra “on a Rococo Theme,” paired with a symphony by Tchaikovsky’s favorite composer, Mozart.
