A Tribute to Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops at the Arvada Center

Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities

Wyoming Symphony Orchestra is thrilled to welcome Justin Bartels to the stage to perform Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto, a truly unique feat for its time. As part of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Bartels proves that one person can make a huge impact on the ears. His gleaming sound on the trumpet is full of dazzling technique which we will hear in Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto. This concert will include the premiere of a student composer from the University of Wyoming. Ending the concert, the audience will hear Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6. This piece will take us on a journey of cheerfulness, anticipation, excitement, and serenity. Legacies is a celebration of music education and the chronology of composers and performers that studied from one another, growing and shaping the art form from pre-classical to contemporary.

Denver favorite Olga Kern returns, lending dazzling technique and searing musicianship to Shostakovich’s witty Piano Concerto No. 1. The piece – a rule-breaking, neo-baroque romp filled with sardonic humor, parody, and fleeting musical quotes – is actually a double concerto supported by string orchestra in which the piano converses with solo trumpet, played by our inimitable Principal Trumpet Justin Bartels.
