The Minot Symphony Orchestra will present an evening of classics at their 93rd season finale, “The Mighty Five,” on Saturday, April 27. The concert will take place at MSU’s Ann Nicole Nelson Hall and will begin with an educational pre-concert talk at 6:30 p.m. followed by the concert at 7:30 p.m.

The performance will focus on two composers who belonged to the Russian “Mighty Five.” The group was led by composer Rimsky-Kosakov and sought a true Nationalistic Russian Voice.

“‘Capriccio Espagnol,’ based on Spanish folk melodies, is one of the most popular pieces by the Russian composers,'” explained Efrain Amaya. “Talking about popular pieces, Mussorgsky’s ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ is without a doubt his most famous piano piece, it has seen many orchestrations from rock bands to the most performed orchestration by the French master orchestrator Maurice Ravel.”

The featured soloist performance will be the “Luminus Piano Trio.” Luminus consists of Jon Rumney on violin, Erik Anderson on cello and Dianna Anderson on piano. The group is deeply commited to chamber music education and has performed hundreds of outreach concerts for regional schools.

“I am thrilled to have three of my esteemed MSU colleagues as featured soloists for Beethoven’s unique ‘Triple Concerto’ for the season finale,” explained Amaya.

The talk is free with the purchase of a concert ticket.
