The Mimbres Region Arts Council, in partnership with Western New Mexico University, the Grant County Community Concert Association and the Grant County Community Foundation, will bring the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra back to the WNMU Fine Arts Center Theatre in Silver City for a highly anticipated return engagement. The program will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday November 6, 2015.
This year the orchestra will feature extraordinary violinist, Natasha Korsakova, scheduled to play the Brahms Violin Concerto, and Dvorak Symphony No. 7.
When playing Brahms Violin Concerto, Ms. Korsakova is described as having the ability to take on the challenge posed by the piece, and to play it with a poetic expressiveness that was ‘most notable in the shimmering melody begun by the solo oboe.' Germany's Süddeutsche Zeitung describes Korsakova's playing as a "sinfully beautiful listening experience." For more information on Korsakova please visit http://www.natashakorsakova.com/index.html.
From his inaugural concert with the Las Cruces Symphony Orchestra at New Mexico State University in October 1999, Music Director Lonnie Klein has led the orchestra to new levels of artistic excellence, with high audience acclaim, rave reviews and ten consecutive sold-out seasons. Joseph Schwantner, noted American composer, said, "Lonnie's industry and energy knows no bounds and he has propelled the orchestra into an ensemble that possesses great musical integrity and an ability to engage new and challenging music in a manner that is truly exceptional."
The Orchestra's Percussion Ensemble, which includes storytelling and singing, will give a student-only outreach performance at 1pm the day of the show.
