SUMMARY:Kluxen & Min – Rachmaninoff & Shostakovich
DESCRIPTION:A hometown favourite\, the globe-trotting pianist Lorraine Min is featured in one of Rachmaninoff’s most challenging and best loved works. This concert is sure to delight\, especially listening to the sublime Variation 18! Shostakovich and Britten were near contemporaries\, and equally precocious.

It brought him instant international fame. \n\nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO \nConcert duration: Approx. 95 minutes including one 20 minute intermission\nPre-concert Chat: Please join us at 6:40 pm in the west lobby for a pre-concert chat featuring Music Director Christian Kluxen and VS bass trombone Robert Fraser.

SUMMARY:The Choir of King's College\, Cambridge (Rehearsal - Sold Out)
DESCRIPTION:The Choir of King’s College\, Cambridge will be joining your Victoria Symphony this spring for a performance of Mozart’s Requiem\, which has long sold out. In response to the ongoing demand\, we have opened up 175 tickets to attend an open working rehearsal on April 11 from 10:00 am – 12:30 pm* at the Farquhar at UVic. \nThis open working rehearsal offers an intimate window into how this remarkable ensemble works: how sound is shaped\, how meaning is uncovered\, and how young musicians are guided to extraordinary artistic standards. \nAs part of the experience\, Daniel Hyde (Director of Music at King’s College) and Matthew White (VS CEO) will host a 20-minute open talkback during the break\, offering context\, reflections\, and the chance for conversation. \n*This is a working rehearsal\, duration is subject to change. \n“I had the great privilege of hosting the Choir once before during my time at Early Music Vancouver. While their performance was sublime\, what has stayed with me most vividly was a quiet morning spent alone in the hall\, observing a full rehearsal. The combination of humanity\, discipline\, and musical excellence is the essence of this centuries-old tradition\, and it is rarely witnessed from the inside. This is a genuinely special event\, so I hope you will join us whether you have tickets to the concert or not. This opportunity is limited in capacity but promises to be unforgettable in impact.” \n–          Matthew White\, CEO

SUMMARY:Kluxen – Mahler Symphony No. 5
DESCRIPTION:Mahler’s Fifth Symphony is undoubtedly his most famous work\, and it contains echoes of some of the greatest highs and lows of his life.

Its serene fourth movement\, the Adagietto\, is a love letter–Mahler’s declaration to his new bride saying\, “I am no longer alone\, because now\, I have you.” \n\nKNOW BEFORE YOU GO \nConcert duration: Approx. 75 minutes without intermission\nPre-Concert Chat: Please join us at 1:40 pm in the west lobby for a pre-concert chat featuring Music Director Christian Kluxen and VS CEO Matthew White.

SUMMARY:Kluxen & Hetherington – Beethoven Symphony No. 7
DESCRIPTION:A festive Danish curtain-raiser by Friedrich Kuhlau (Beethoven’s contemporary and a composer central to Denmark’s musical identity) sets the tone for a season that celebrates place and belonging in a time when national songs resonate more than ever. Berlioz\, another nineteenth-century visionary who expanded the orchestra’s expressive range\, turns that brightness inward with Les Nuits d’été\, a tender farewell to summer sung by mezzo-soprano Alex Hetherington. Britta Byström’s A Walk to Beethoven\, commissioned by Christian Kluxen during his Arctic Philharmonic tenure\, answers across time with a luminous bridge leading naturally into Beethoven’s radiant Seventh Symphony—a “celebration of humanity being unworried and free.”

SUMMARY:Kluxen & Choi – Prokofiev Classical & Haydn Cello Concerto
DESCRIPTION:Rossini’s mischievous Il signor Bruschino Overture sparkles with wit and charm—proof that classical can also be playful. Hayoung Choi\, winner of the 2022 Queen Elisabeth Competition\, brings brilliance and elegance to Haydn’s much loved Cello Concerto No. 1. Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony playfully reimagines eighteenth-century forms through a modern lens\, before Haydn returns to close with Symphony No. 75\, whose humour and grace remind us that true classicism is always alive\, never antique.

SUMMARY:Huynh & Valcheff – Beethoven Symphony No. 1 & Copland's Tender Land Suite
DESCRIPTION:“The promise of living with hope and thanksgiving / Is born of our loving our friends and our labor.” So sing the closing lines of Copland’s The Tender Land\, whose open harmonies celebrate community and gratitude. Dynamic conductor Norman Huynh leads a program grounded in musical friendship: VS Principal Percussion Jacob Valcheff joins as soloist in a vibrant new concerto by Canadian composer Samuel Kerr\, commissioned with support from the Hugh Davidson Fund at the Victoria Foundation. Beethoven’s youthful First Symphony closes with exuberant optimism and elegant humour—music born of curiosity\, confidence\, and connection.
