Event Name:
North Valley Symphony Orchestra March Concert
Description
Enjoy light, breezy and delightful melodies as North Valley Symphony Orchestra (NVSO) welcomes springtime to the valley with their “Spring is in the Air” concert, Saturday, March 9^th, 7:00 p.m. at North Canyon High School Performing Arts Center, 1700 E. Union Hills Drive.

This concert includes Mendelssohn’s popular A Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture, which introduces Shakespeare’s comedy about kings and queens, a forest filled with fairies, love potions, and magical moments in the woods outside Athens. NVSO patrons will also hear Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 "Pastorale", a piece inspired by his walks in rural Austria, depicting the loveliness of nature, including bubbling brooks, bird calls, and a merry gathering of peasants. Delius’ On Hearing the First Cuckoo In Spring is also a perfect choice for this concert. Kevin Kozacek, NVSO’s Music Director, encourages the audience to, “…listen for the number of different instruments imitating the natural sounds of the cuckoo in this piece…the oboe, strings, and clarinet.”

This concert will also feature the winner of the 2019 Summerford Violin Concerto Competition, Haley McKeown, performing Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in A minor. In addition to performing at an NVSO major concert, this annual competition for NVSO youth members offers a prize of a violin hand-made by Mr. Jody Summerford, a local luthier living in Moon Valley, AZ.
