Event Description

STRAUSS Zigeunerbaron Overture
ADASKIN Saskatchewan Legend
BRAHMS Symphony No. 4
Join the GVYO for the second concert of their Season of Symphonies. The programme opens with wonderful waltz rhythms and rich Roma motifs in the overture to Johann Strauss’ Zigeunerbaron (The Gypsy Baron). Canada’s own Murray Adaskin wrote Saskatchewan Legend in 1959; rhapsodic in form, it is based on two folk songs from the time of Louis Riel. Brahms’ Symphony No. 4, one of the “darkest and deepest” symphonies of the 19th century, concludes the programme with great beauty and gravitas.
