February 27, 2025 – The Symphony of the Hills presents the final concert in the 2024-25 season, Bach, Beethoven, Boom!, on Thursday, February 27, 2025 at 7 pm in the Cailloux Theater.
The season finale concert will feature the outstanding members of the HCYO joining the symphony in a side-by-side performance of Beethoven’s Egmont Overture. The symphony will also perform Bach’s Violin Concerto in E Major featuring its consummate concertmaster, Phil Johnson.
Once Beethoven’s music became known in the early 19th century, it was a free-for-all in the symphonic music world—everyone wanted to be bigger and more dramatic. Audience members will be amazed by the symphony’s first ever performance of Mahler’s grand Symphony No. 1 “Titan” followed by the biggest “boom” of classical music, Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture.
Program:
Beethoven – Egmont Overture
Bach – Violin Concerto in E Major
-Phil Johnson, violin
Mahler – Symphony No. 1 “Titan” 1st movement
Tchaikovsky – 1812 Overture
