Vivid Colors, Dance & Beauty

Posted in: Concerts

The Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra presents a bright classical overture by Haydn, followed by American composer Michael Torke’s Ash. Described as being like a recalcitrant Beethoven overture, it is full of vibrant colors, and was choreographed as a ballet soon after its composition. Next is Copland’s ballet Appalachian Spring, an iconic piece of Americana created for Martha Graham in 1944, the ballet won the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Music. Finally, Sibelius wrote his 5th Symphony as if God Almighty had thrown down pieces of a mosaic for heaven’s floor - Its last movement has been called the greatest finale of all time! Temple Theatre, 201 N. Washington Ave., Saginaw. 8 to 10 PM. Adult tickets begin at $15.00. Phone 989-754-7469.
