The South Dakota State University Civic Symphony will deliver a celebration of timeless classics with its spring concert, starting at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 13, at the Oscar Larson Performing Arts Center.
 
The performance promises to transport listeners on a journey through time featuring the musical genius of Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, and Gilbert and Sullivan.  
 
The program opens with Bach’s Piano Concerto in D minor, performed with Thomas Tiegs as soloist. Listeners can expect sparkling melodies that seem to never come to a complete stop, and an interplay between the orchestra and soloist in a way no one other than Bach himself can create.  
 
The spotlight then shifts to two senior piccolo trumpeters, Caroline Reyner and Mason LeMaster, in a performance of Concerto for Two Trumpets by Vivaldi.  
 
Rounding out the first half of the concert will be soprano soloist Arianna Rice, who will perform a reflective aria from Mozart’s famous opera, “The Magic Flute.â€�  
 
The second half is dedicated to recreating in a concert setting highlights from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “H.M.S. Pinafore.â€� This celebrated work, deeply rooted in British satire, requires the combined talents of the orchestra and the º£½ÇÖ±²¥app Opera Workshop, under the direction of professor Emily Toronto.  
 
º£½ÇÖ±²¥app’s Civic Symphony maintains a long tradition as a cornerstone of the Brookings arts scene. The ensemble brings together students, faculty and community musicians to create a unique experience reflective of the talents and interests of those who call º£½ÇÖ±²¥app home. Designed to captivate audiences of all ages, the concert is free, and the public is invited to attend.
