Central Iowa Symphony: In Other Voices

Sometimes, composers like to step away from their familiar styles and try their hands at writing like their counterparts from other places and times. The December Central Iowa Symphony concert embraces this kind of exploration, where composers speak “In Other Voices.” Among these once-removed offerings are a 20th century English musician’s meditation on 17th century German music, a Mexican composer’s Viennese-style waltz, and Tchaikowsky’s thrilling take on Italian music. Guest artists Amy Christensen and Andrew Bishop join the orchestra for a stirring display of introspective virtuosity with Aaron Copland’s Quiet City.
