NFSO - ''Glory & Remembrance'' Symphony Concert

With everything from a multimedia remembrance of WWII, to a night of glorious opera music, and a special event featuring international Cirque acrobats performing live to symphony music, the 2014-2015 season of Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra (NFSO) is set to both dazzle and pull at the heart strings. The theme for the NFSO’s 28th season, “A Musical Voyage,” reflects the broad spectrum of guest artists, events and music from around the globe.

At the “GLORY & REMEMBRANCE” concert on September 20, the NFSO will perform a movement of Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 5 set to historic WWII images in a moving tribute to the home front and the front lines. The evening’s companion work, “No Man’s Land,” combines images of WWI with Aaron Copland’s poignant Quiet City. The night’s musical journey concludes with renowned Guest Artist Yevgeny Yontov of Israel, the 2013 Wideman International piano Competition Gold Medal winner, performing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major, op. 58.
