Concord Orchestra: Montgomery Variations and more

On Saturday, October 18 at 8:00 PM, and Sunday, October 19 at 2:30 PM, the Concord Orchestra presents a program called “Always in Motion” at the 51 Walden Performing Arts Center in Concord, highlighting the Montgomery Variations. A pre-concert talk is scheduled for 7:15 on Saturday.

Also on the program will be Javelin by Michael Torke. Javelin was commissioned by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra for its 50th anniversary and it was performed at the opening ceremony of the Atlanta Summer Olympics in 1996.

The concert will conclude with Samuel Barber’s lyrical Symphony No. 1 which combines the four movements of a classical symphony into a single movement. It is modeled after Jean Sibelius’s Symphony No. 7, which is also in one movement.

Tickets for adults and seniors are $25. Admission for youth under 18 is free. For tickets and information, call 978-369-4967 or visit www.concordorchestra.com.
