A Message From Maestro Brotons
March 25, 2020
Maestro Brotons Receives Lifetime Achievement Award From Clark County Arts Commission
September 28, 2020
The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra is thrilled to announce its 2020/21 classical concert season, celebrating Maestro Salvador Brotons’ 30th anniversary with the VSO and an extraordinary world of music. Maestro Brotons will lead the 70+ member orchestra in performances of both new and timeless masterpieces and feature world renowned guest artists from near and far.
This season the VSO journeys across the globe with music hailing from France, Spain, Russia and more. Legendary piano virtuoso Alexander Toradze returns as the season begins with an all-Russian repertoire including works by Stravinsky and Shostakovich. Audiences will experience the gardens of Spain in Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez featuring award-winning classical guitarist Adam Levin, and the glorious Symphonie Fantastique by French composer Hector Berlioz. Later in the season, Tony nominee and Emmy Award-winning actress, singer and recording artist Liz Callaway will perform some of Broadway’s greatest hits. Next, the Portland State University Choir will take the stage with the VSO in a performance of Mahler’s monumental tour de force Symphony No. 2. In addition to these exciting works, the VSO will be presenting the music of Tchaikovsky, Sibelius and, of course, Beethoven in celebration of his 250th birthday. The season concludes with internationally acclaimed concert violinist, recording artist, educator and philanthropist Rachel Barton Pine featured in Korngold’s Violin Concerto.
