The night
Before you go
Farquhar at UVic. Heavenly inspiration and earthly beauty intertwine in this celestial program. Langgaard (Danish visionary, eccentric, and long misunderstood) paints a luminous morning sky, his melodic imagination anticipating modernism’s bold colours. Rautavaara’s Dances with the Winds, performed by VS Principal Flute Arin Sarkissian, breathes spiritual life and mystery into the instrument’s voice. Schubert’s pastoral and light Fifth Symphony follows, clear and human in its warmth, before Josef Strauss brings us full circle with his cosmic Music of the Spheres, where Viennese grace meets the harmony of the heavens. KNOW BEFORE YOU GO Concert duration: Approx. 95 minutes including one 20 minute intermission. Pre-Concert Chat: Please join us at 1:30 pm in the auditorium for a pre-concert chat featuring Music Director Christian Kluxen, VS Principal Flute Arin Sarkissian, and former VS Principal Flute Richard Volet.
