Featuring Clancy Newman, Cello | Clancy Newman is back with the Longmont Symphony to continue exploring the cello repertoire in all its glory. In Strauss’s 45-minute tone poem, the solo cello represents the Don — a self-proclaimed (and not so sound of mind!) knight errant who believes windmills are giants and sheep are an invading army. Also on the program is Tchaikovsky’s Variations for Cello and Orchestra “on a Rococo Theme,” paired with a symphony by Tchaikovsky’s favorite composer, Mozart.

Additionally, Vaughan Williams' stunning and spiritual blend of ancient and modern elements is showcased in Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis, which features two string orchestras. Finally, Respighi’s Pines of Rome promises to be a sonic spectacle not to be missed!
