artsScene: Behind the Scenes at the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra

Join artsScene at the Edmonton Symphony’s Late Night Concert with Bill Eddins on Friday, June 3, 2011. 

The evening will begin with a reception in the Founders Room with dessert and a cash bar.  Next we will go behind the scenes and see the inner workings of the Winspear Centre and various elements that bring together the amazing musical performances that take place there. 

From there we will hear the Edmonton Symphony perform music from the 1900s. The 20th century was a time of exciting innovation, and you will hear music performed to illustrate the mood of this era. Composed at the height of World War II, Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony glorifies the power of the human spirit with a sound that is bright and heroic. Stravinsky’s suite from the ballet Pulcinella led him into the “neo-classical” style which dominated his compositions for decades. Swiss-born Arthur Honegger was one of the darlings of the avant-garde with his work, Pacific 231, a work inspired by the power and mechanical marvel of a train engine.

An afterparty will take place in the Winspear lobby. 

This will be an incredible evening that you will not want to miss out on. 

Don’t miss out and buy your tickets today!
