Ho’s Earthbeat is inspired by the traditions of Canada’s First Nations community\, bringing one closer to the Earth’s “heartbeat.” Jiang’s River Memory is a work inspired by the Niagara Falls\, contemplating on the transformation of human identity as part of the immigration and diaspora experience. Beloved composer Lau’s Between the Earth and Forever\, is a poetic evocation of the space between our home and the universe\, the familiar and the unknown\, the earthly and the transcendent\, the preciousness of nature and the abyss of environmental disaster. Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 is the last of his symphonies and possibly his finest and most moving. \n \n GET TICKETS URL:https://niagarasymphony.com/event/earthbeat-a-lunar-new-year-celebration/ LOCATION:Partridge Hall\, 250 St Paul St\, St. Catharines\, Ontario\, L2R 3M2\, Canada CATEGORIES:NSO CLASSIC ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://niagarasymphony.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/snow_bai-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20231217T143000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20231217T170000 DTSTAMP:20260409T090606 CREATED:20230503T233959Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231207T220415Z UID:10000002-1702823400-1702832400@niagarasymphony.com SUMMARY:Brad’s Home for the Holidays DESCRIPTION:Kaylee Harwood\, sopranoSayer Roberts\, tenorLaura Secord S.S.

Don Juan is an orchestral favourite due to the numerous technical and musical demands on each instrument. When Richard Strauss needed some local color for his opera Der Rosenkavalier (The Cavalier of the Rose)\, he turned to the waltz it as shorthand for the elegance and grace of a bygone era. Ravel’s Bolero\, known for its orchestral crescendo and featured soloists throughout the entire orchestra\, could be his most famous composition\, made even more famous by the ice dancing pair Torvill and Dean at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics. \nNAGATA SHACHU is theDR. and MRS.
