Minnesota Philharmonic Orchestra – Winter Concert: Passions
In our 30th anniversary season, we celebrate the stories, gifts, and lessons we share with each generation of music makers and music lovers. From the rolling brooks of Beethoven’s pastoral sixth symphony to the spiritual metamorphosis of Duke Ellington’s River Suite, two hundred years of nature music captivate us with stories told in sound. Fanfares, chorals, Beethovenian heroism and a panoply of percussion instruments make Tan Dun’s Internet Symphony: Eroica an absolute romp. The MPO then joins forces with One Voice Mixed Chorus for the premier of a new work by Nathan Hall. Finally, Tchaikovsky’s passionate Symphony No. 6, which the composer called “the most sincere of all my creations,” is an emotional epic, pouring forth with wonder, joy, fury, and lament – passionate in every sense of the word.Registration link to livestream the concert:https://mnphil.app.neoncrm.com/eventReg.jsp?event=42&
