SUMMARY:The ArcoStrum Experience
DESCRIPTION:Take a violin\, add a guitar\, and in the hands of artists Strauss Shi and TY Zhang\, you’ve got pure magic. Individually these musicians are wildly talented. Together\, their chemistry is electric! AcroStrum’s genre-defying sound seamlessly intertwines Chinese traditional folk music with the contemporary Tango mastery of Piazzolla and the timeless classics of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. East meets West in a harmonious fusion of high-impact visuals\, humor\, compelling stories\, and dazzling virtuosity. Don’t miss this one!

SUMMARY:Lyrical Landscapes: Mahler\, Walton\, & Clair de Lune
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy the gentle beauty of Clair de lune —French for “moonlight”— one of the most recognizable pieces in Debussy’s repertoire. This work will immerse you in a dreamlike atmosphere\, using open harmonies\, unconventional scales\, and fluid melodic lines. Just as Impressionist painters captured the fleeting play of light rather than rigid details\, the music evokes shifting moods and delicate soundscapes. \nNext\, we present Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder\, performed by one of the most electrifying opera singers of the 21st century\, baritone Lester Lynch. The poignant song cycle is based on the poetry of Romantic German poet Friedrich Rückert. As in much of Mahler’s music\, melody takes center stage. These five deeply expressive songs journey from the fragrant promise of spring to meditations on solitude and\, ultimately\, a profound contemplation of the soul’s darkest hour. \nThe program concludes with Lynch and the Bozeman Symphonic Choir performing Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast. This dramatic oratorio\, drawn from biblical texts\, tells the story of the Jews’ exile in Babylon. During a grand feast\, King Belshazzar desecrates sacred Jewish vessels in praise of heathen gods— only to meet a sudden and divine downfall. With the king’s fall\, the Babylonian kingdom crumbles\, and the Jewish people triumphantly regain their freedom.
