Lincoln Symphony' concert features Mozart
The Lincoln Symphony Orchestra shines the spotlight on its own concertmaster Anton Miller and principal violist Clark Potter as well as the Nebraska Wesleyan University Choir and the Lincoln Civic Choir in the "Mozart in March" concert at 7:30 p.m. March 12 at Kimball Recital Hall.
"What's special about this concert is Mozart. The audience will be exposed to two of the great masterpieces of this genius composer," said LSO music director Edward Polochick, who will conduct the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra and both choirs at the concert.
Since giving his Carnegie Hall concerto debut in 1992 with the New Chamber Orchestra of New York, violinist Miller has appeared throughout the United States and internationally as concerto soloist, chamber musician, recitalist and pedagogue.
Potter became principal viola of the Lincoln Symphony in 1996. He is a viola professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he also teaches conducting. In addition, he is halfway to his goal of performing as a soloist or chamber musician in each of the 50 states.
Miller and Potter will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat Major, K. 364, a three-movement work for violin and viola that is generally viewed as a seminal composition marking the beginning of Mozart's mature style.
The second half of the program features the Nebraska Wesleyan University Choir and the Lincoln Civic Choir. Under the direction of William Wyman, the Nebraska Wesleyan University Choir is a select 52-voice ensemble that is recognized nationally and internationally for performing excellence and varied repertoire. The choir was nominated for an Emmy Award in the fall of 2004. Wyman also directs the Lincoln Civic Choir, a 50-voice auditioned choir comprised of singers from Lincoln and the surrounding areas.
The choirs will perform Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's monumental "Grand" Mass in C Minor, K. 427, which features Esther Heideman, soprano, Jana Holzmeier, soprano, Michael Magiera, tenor and Jeff Keele, baritone.
Tickets are on sale now at the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra box office, 402-476-2211. Tickets prices are for $26/$34/$40, with half-price for students and children.
There is a pre-concert lecture from 6:45-7:15 p.m. at Westbrook Music Building Room 19. This is hosted by William Stibor, music director for NET, Nebraska's public radio station.
