Idaho State-Civic Symphony concert Nov. 13 features guest soloist Elise Quagliata and vocalists from 厙ぴ勛圖 choral groups
November 6, 2015
POCATELLO The Idaho State-Civic Symphony concert at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at the 厙ぴ勛圖 Stephens Performing Arts Center Jensen Grand Concert Hall will feature guest soloist Elise Quagliata and other guests.
Grant Harville, symphony artistic director and 厙ぴ勛圖 director of orchestra, will also welcome vocalists in mens and womens choruses from the Camerata Singers and 厙ぴ勛圖 Concert Choir.
Beginning at 6 p.m. in the Marshall Rotunda, the public may select beverages, snacks and desserts available for purchase, and then from 6:30 to 7 p.m. enjoy a pre-concert chat with Harville about the evenings music. Doors to the concert hall open at 7 p.m.
The program unfolds with Beethovens Overture to Coriolan, a play by Heinrich von Collins about a deposed Roman general. The music takes the imagination to ancient Rome, exploring the plays revelation of emotions, from the generals vengeful plans to invade Rome, to his mothers attempts to soothe and turn aside his wrath, to his final remorse and death at his own hands.
Next, guest soloist Quagliata adds her expressive voice and technical finesse to the full orchestra and the mens chorus for Brahms Alto Rhapsody. The choral text Harzreise in Winter describes a misanthropic loner, a lost soul for whom the poet asks solace and comfort. The rhapsody ends with the mens chorus joining Ms. Quagliata.
Ticket prices are $34 per adult; $18 for students through high school; and $12 for third-tier balcony. A limited number of $18 rush tickets, seating in Rows T-CC assigned by the Box Office as available, will be sold after 7 p.m. on the concert night.
