Prepare for a monumental 76th season with the Billings Symphony as we open our Music Director Search season with our first finalist, Eric Garcia. Praised for his “elegant and expressive” conducting, Eric Garcia will lead the orchestra in Valerie Coleman’s Umoja, the Swahili word for Unity. This piece reflects exactly that with its attentiveness to collective energy and how it highlights the individuality of performers within a shared musical structure. Guest Artist Timothy Chooi is set to join the orchestra for Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, a Billings Symphony favorite and the evening closes with the idyllic sounds of the Bohemian countryside through Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8. The first of many fantastic concerts this season, join us for The Search.
