Sponsored by John W. and Carol L.H. Green



A centuries-old puzzle, Elgar’s Enigma Variations is said to have a “dark saying that must be left unguessed.” Music Director Finalist, Deanna Tham, will lead the orchestra in this mysterious yet transformative piece and you can take a guess at the cryptic message yourself. We’ll also travel to Tennessee with the dynamic soprano Sara Duchovnay to be immersed in the richly textured Knoxville Summer of 1915. To round off the program, the Billings Symphony will play their first performance of any of William Grant Still’s work: Darker America.
