October 9, 2025 – Symphony of the Hills presents the first concert in the 2025-26 season, A Time to Remember – Back to the Beatles, on Thursday, October 9, 2025 at 7 pm.
A time to remember…the symphony chose this theme almost two years ago for our season opening concert. Yet, our Hill Country community was changed this past July 4 and our focus shifts to music that helps us remember those lost and connects us to each other. We shall pivot on our opening work and offer Gustav Mahler’s peace and soul-filled Adagietto from his Symphony number 5. We then offer two movements from Ludwig van Beethoven’s 7th Symphony, scheduled for April 2020 (a pandemic canceled concert), which fits our 25th anniversary theme of celebrating the greatest music of all time this season. Amy Beach’s “Gaelic” Symphony, premiered in 1896 by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, was the first symphony composed and published by an American woman–we perform the finale of this brilliant piece. We also remember that greatest composer of classical music, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart through his clarinet concerto. Composed at the end of his life, it is one of the most sublimely beautiful works in the orchestral canon and will be performed by virtuoso clarinetist Vanguel Tangarov. We end the concert “Remembering the Beatles,” arguably the greatest popular music combo on the planet.
