Join Symphony of the Rockies for an exhilarating evening of western-themed music with "Rose of Sonora," featuring the acclaimed violinist, and former Denverite Holly Mulcahy. The program includes a new concerto by George S. Clinton's evocative "Rose of Sonora," a violin concerto in five scenes, is inspired by true stories about the lives of legendary women in the Old West and takes the listener on an epic western adventure of love, loss, and revenge. As praised by The Chicago Tribune, "Holly Mulcahy's performance is nothing short of mesmerizing." The western-theme continues with Bernstein's rousing "Magnificent Seven," Morricone's iconic "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," Rossini's spirited "William Tell Overture," and Copland's lively "Hoe Down from Rodeo."
