This third concert of the 2018 - 2019 season will offer musical favourites to treat the love of your life! You'll enjoy "For Home" by Kevin Lau, "Vocalise" by Rachmaninoff and the famous Irish Tune from County Derry (Danny Boy) in a wonderful arrangement by Percy Grainger. The first half of the concert is completed by Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, a most romantic symphony indeed. The second movement "Allegretto" evokes in the listener feelings of longing and tenderness. It received an instant encore when it was first performed in 1813 and still does today! It took Tchaikovsky 10 years to write "Romeo and Juliet" and its main love theme is so recognizable. It has been used in many TV shows and movies. The third concert of our 2018 – 2019 season, Immortal Beloved takes place on Sunday, February 10th at 2:30 pm at the Jack Singer Concert Hall. The pre-concert chat will commence at 1:45 pm. Maestro Rolf Bertsch conducts the Civic as we launch the concert performing Lau's For Home, followed by Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. After our brief intermission, the orchestra will treat you to Grainger's Irish Tune from County Derry and Rachmaninoff's Vocalise. the concert will be brought to a close with Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet. The Calgary Civic Symphony was founded in 1975 as Calgary's volunteer orchestra. Over the years, the Civic has swelled to over 80 musicians. With an interesting diversity in professions, its members come together each week to rehearse complex orchestral works. Under the baton of Artistic Director and Conductor Rolf Bertsch, the Symphony shapes and polishes performances that are truly brilliant! .
