Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the LSO!

Lethbridge Symphony Orchestra  with guest Josh Davies, trumpet

Come hear toe-tapping selections from “Riverdance”, by Irish composer William Whelan, to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!  A man of many talents, Whelan has helped produce music by Kate Bush, U2, and Van Morrison.  In 2011, Whelan won the UCD Foundation Day Medal in recognition of his ground-breaking Irish musical achievements over the years.  Whelan’s original music captures the excitement of Irish dance tunes, captivating audiences all over the world.

Oskar Böhme thrived musically following his move to St. Petersburg, Russia from Germany, experiencing success as an orchestral musician, composer, soloist, and teacher.  The trumpet concerto was one of his most famous works.  Josh Davies will bring its brilliant lyricism, complex passagework, and playful skipping melodies to LSO’s appreciative audiences.  Though Böhme’s career, and ultimately his life, was sadly cut short by the dictatorship of Josef Stalin, this virtuosic, high-spirited work makes his music appeal to new generations.

Doors open 30 minutes before showtime.
