Copland · Appalachian Spring · Alice Ho · Strange Luminescence · Bartók · The Miraculous Mandarin Suite
Experience an inspiring evening of live orchestral music as the Regina Symphony Orchestra explores movement, imagination, and elemental power through works that span serenity and intensity. Copland’s Appalachian Spring offers a luminous vision of open space and quiet hope, while Alice Ho’s Strange Luminescence, inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night, unfolds in shimmering colour and atmosphere, featuring Regina pianist Katherine Dowling. The program reaches its dramatic peak with Bartók’s The Miraculous Mandarin Suite (reduction by Iain Farrington), a work of relentless energy and visceral force.
Don’t miss this unforgettable classical music experience in Regina, where dance, light, and emotion converge in a vivid musical journey from stillness to motion, and shadow to brilliance.

From the Podium
Nietzsche famously wrote “I would only believe in a god who could dance”, and saw dance as a constant of mankind and civilizations. This concert features a world premiere and dance music through ballet suites that explore moods and impressions from foreign and neighbouring lands.
