​The Bozeman Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Choir's grand finale of the 2021/22 classical series is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, one of the most revered classical masterworks. Opening the program, Augusta Read Thomas's Aureole for Orchestra was written specifically to precede Beethoven's Ninth Symphony out of respect for her compositional predecessor. The Bozeman Symphonic Choir and four guest artists: Alexandra Razskazoff, soprano; Lauren Decker, mezzo-soprano; Katherine Goforth, tenor; and Anthony Clark Evans, baritone, will join the orchestra on stage for Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, an exhilarating end to our classical series performances of the season.
