Event Description
Conductor Ajtony Csaba leads the UVic Symphony Orchestra in a captivating program that blends bold contemporary voices with evocative classics. The concert opens with Anna Meredith’s Nautilus, a high-energy, pulse-driven work that bursts with colour and rhythm. Michelle Wolfenden’s brand-new composition for flute and orchestra, commissioned as part of the 2025 UVic Orchestral Reading Prize, showcases the creativity of an emerging composer.Soprano Olivia Pryce-Digby, winner of the 2025 UVic Concerto Competition, brings lyrical warmth to Samuel Barber’s nostalgic Knoxville: Summer of 1915. The program continues with Scriabin’s dreamlike Rêverie and the graceful Alla Siciliana from Amy Beach’s richly romantic Gaelic Symphony. To close, the orchestra performs Schubert’s iconic Symphony No. 8 “Unfinished”, a work of haunting beauty and enduring mystery.
