West Michigan Symphony "Chasing the Sun: From Dakness into Light"
The great Peter Tchaikovsky’s enormously powerful Fourth Symphony is one man’s response to fate and eventual triumph over his own destiny. Prokofiev’s Piano concerto no. 3, featured in the film The Competition, is one of the most devilishly difficult and puckishly enjoyable works in the repertoire. In this concert we introduce the young virtuoso Gleb Ivanov, whose pianistic prowess has dazzled audiences from coast to coast. And Chasing the Sun is a brief and brilliant orchestral showpiece from the living American composer John David Earnest, a student of Samuel Barber and a proud torch bearer of the American Romantic tradition. The concert is at 7:30 p.m. at the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts (corner of Third and Western in Downtown Muskegon). Tickets available at the www.westmichigansymphony.org, the Frauenthal Box Office Monday - Friday 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Startickets 800-585-3737. www.westmichigansymphony.org
