LOVELAND Loveland Orchestra
The Loveland Orchestra will present the next concert of its 2023-24 season, “Reinterpretation,” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 8, at Mountain View High School, 3500 Mountain Lion Drive.
At 7 p.m., Conductor Luciano R. Silvestri Jr. will offer a discussion of the music in the program.
The season’s theme is “Beg, Borrow, & Steal,” celebrating the way composers use something old to create something new.
The concert begins with “Variations on a Theme by Haydn” by Brahms, a set of variations from the theme from “St. Anthony Chorale.” Next, the orchestra plays music by Hans Zimmer from “Gladiator,” and the audience will notice the similarities to the next piece, “Mars, The Bringer of War” from “The Planets,” composed by Gustav Holst. After a brief intermission, the orchestra performs “Korngold’s
Suite” from the early Hollywood film “King’s Row.”
The audience can then listen for borrowed music in the final piece, “Star Wars Suite” by John Williams.
