Holiday Cheer 2025

Thunder Mountain High School

This program shines a light on Romantic voices both familiar and rediscovered. Farrenc's spirited Overture No. 2 reclaims its rightful place in the repertoire, while Juneau's beloved visiting pianist, Alexander Tutunov, brings brilliance to Grieg's iconic concerts. Brahms' First Symphony crowns the evening with intenstiy, dignity, and perseverence.

Resurgence & Rediscovery

Juneau-Douglas High School

This spring program dances between elegance and vitality. Joseph Bologne's sparkling overture opens with Classical pose and charm, followed by Haydn's brilliant Trumpet Concerto— a work of wit and virtuosity. After intermission, Copland's beloved Appalachian Spring is a radiant portrait of hope, humility, and openhearted joy. Music that lifts and lingers with both refinement and spirit.

Elegance & Energy

This grand season finale is a celebration of cinema's most unforgettable scores — from golden-age swashbuckling to modern-day heroes. Hear Erich Kornhold's lush Adventures of Robin Hood, Mancini's beloved Moon River and Pink Panther and the vibrant Black Panther Suite by Ludwig Göransson. After intermission, our Youth Solo Winner takes center stage before we launch into Beauty and the Beast, Mission: Impossible, Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter. The evening ends in true epic fashion with music from Star Wars.
