Mike Smith welcomes Julia Tai, Music Director of Missoula Symphony to The Lunchbox . The new season for Missoula Symphony kicks off with "Struggle & Triumph" September 23rd & 24th at the Dennison Theatre in Missoula. This will be an evening of power, emotion, and triumph, featuring Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s Hiawatha Overture, which draws inspiration from the 1855 poem The Song of Hiawatha by American Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The Hiawatha Overture also draws inspiration from the soundtrack to Rachmaninoff’s journey out of depression and darkness, and ascension into true joy, performed by rising star pianist, Charlie Albright. The evening concludes with Florence Price’s Symphony No. 3 in C minor, which was commissioned and composed at the height of the Great Depression and expresses stylistic themes at times reminiscent of Wagner, and at other times, Shostakovich.
Celebrate resilience, triumph, and true expressions of the human spirit through this collection of inspiring music!Tickets available at: missoulasymphony.org
