The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Symphony Orchestra will perform at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7 in Kimball Recital Hall.
The concert, which is free and open to the public, will be live webcast. Details on how to stream the recital will be available here the day of the performance.
Members of the Symphony Orchestra, which resides in the Glenn Korff School of Music, include students from throughout the university. The orchestra is under the direction of Tyler Goodrich White, professor and director of orchestras.
The program for the Dec. 7 concert, “Resilience,” will feature music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert and Igor Stravinsky, alongside the world premiere of a new concerto by White.
“The program opens with Beethoven’s ever-popular ‘Egmont’ Overture, followed by Schubert’s graceful and delightful Symphony No. 5 in B-flat major,” White said. “After intermission, UNL faculty soloist Bo Atlas joins the orchestra for the premiere of my ‘Resilience: Fantasy for tuba and orchestra.’ This 12-minute work traces a dramatic narrative trajectory from catastrophe, through lament, and on to lyrical and intensely rhythmic triumph. The program concludes with the 1919 version of Stravinsky’s ‘Firebird Suite.’”
