Show Tchaikovsky on Agenda i Utah Symphony Plans One-Composer Concert I - 0 For the seventh concert of the 1965-66 season of the Utah Symphony, Saturday at 8:30 p.m. in the Tabernacle, Maestro Maurice Abravanel has selected an all Tchaikovsky program, featuring the bombastic "1812 Overture," never before performed by the Orchestra, and the familiar Symphony No. 6 in B minor (Pathetique). AN AMERICAN piano hero, Sidney Foster, will appear as soloist when he performs Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor. The major work of the evening will be the Symphony No. 6 B flat minor. I1 Sidney Foster will perform Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 SaSturday night with the Utah Symphony Orchestra. The major work of the evening eve-ning will be the Symphony No. 6 in B minor, a masterpiece ranging through every mood from excitment, romance, lyricism, lyric-ism, through somberness and melancholy, on which the symphony sym-phony concludes. FOR THE "1812 Overture" the Orchestra will be enlarged with additional musicians from a specially-assembled band which will join with the Orchestra for the finale of the Overture. However, How-ever, Abravanel has promised not to bring a cannon (called for in the composition) into the Tabernacle. As a study in musical probability, prob-ability, the "1812" is unique. The opening pages are based on an ancient Russian religious melody that became known later as "God, Preserve Thy People." The ensuing sections have been construed con-strued as description of the war time travail. SOLOIST FOSTER recently made a triumphant tour of the Soviet Union in which he performed per-formed at 16 sell-out concerts in 22 days, including two recitals in Moscow at the Tchaikovsky Hall and three recitals in Leningrad. Lenin-grad. Tickets, still available for the concert, may be picked up at 5$ West First South. Call 363-7651. |
