Winter Season concert

Argyros Performing Arts Center 120 Main St South, Ketchum

The Sun Valley Music Festival presents its fifth Winter Season, featuring Mussorgsky’s beloved Pictures at an Exhibition, one of the most popular works in all classical music. It’s a piece you’ll enjoy whether you’re hearing it for the first time or the fiftieth. For these concerts, a sparkling arrangement for brass and percussion captures the power and emotion of the original. Music Director Alasdair Neale will conduct the performances, which will also feature a series of short works showcasing the beauty and range of each instrument in the brass and percussion sections. Note: repertoire will be the same for each Winter Season performance.
