Bozeman Symphony: The Rhythms of Beethoven, Rossini and Akiho

The dynamic program features the highly anticipated premiere of acclaimed composer Andy Akiho’s latest work, Nisei: Concerto for Cello and Chamber Orchestra, performed by the extraordinary Jeffrey Zeigler, former cellist of the renowned Kronos Quartet.
The concert opens with the exuberant Overture to The Barber of Seville by Gioachino Rossini, famous for its blend of humor and romance. This iconic overture, known for its infectious melodies, has charmed audiences since its debut in 1816, and continues to find its way into the hearts of many through its frequent use in cartoons, films, and advertisements.
Audiences will also revel in the pulsating rhythms and profound energy of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, a piece celebrated not only for its vibrant score but also for being a personal favorite of the composer himself.
