Glacier Symphony with special guest Jonas VanDyke, John Zoltek conducting

Rhapsodic Light features works by Wagner, Sibelius, Richard Strauss and Brahms.

The concert begins with Wagner’s luminous Parsifal Prelude, a work of broad themes and noble sentiments. Sibelius’ March from Karelia Suite will provide an up-tempo contrast and set the stage for our soloist Jonas VanDyke who travels from his orchestra position in Bejing,China to perform the alpine inspired masterpiece, Horn Concerto No. 1 in Eb Major by German Late-Romantic Richard Strauss, a work that has long been a favorite performance vehicle for French Horn virtuosity. The concert concludes with Brahms’ Symphony No. 3 in F Major possibly the most enigmatic and pastoral of his four symphonies, full of rich melodies, flowing polyphony, light orchestral timbres and engaging rhythms.
