Symphony Orchestra Concert: Rising Stars

Symphony Orchestra

Conductor: Simone Luti*

“Rising Stars”

The stage belongs to tomorrow’s stars. Today we celebrate three extraordinary performances showcasing brilliance and passion. From Barber’s luminous violin concerto and evocative vocal works to Mussorgsky’s haunting Songs and Dances of Death, this concert promises deep emotion and technical mastery.

Featured soloists are the 2024-25 Maritsa Brookes Concerto Competition winners: Julian Trippel, violin (Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto); Amy Godin, soprano (Samuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915); and Daria Kharchenko, mezzo-soprano (Modest Mussorgsky's Songs and Dances of Death)

Location: Paul Davenport Theatre, Talbot College, Western University
