Symphony and Song: A Journey to Italy

Jan. 13, 2013 - PRLog -- While many people’s budgets are too tight for a European vacation this year, Scottsdale Musical Arts offers Phoenix-area residents an opportunity to “Journey to Italy” without the expensive plane fare or hotel bills. Join Scottsdale Choral Artists, Scottsdale Arts Orchestra and Soloists as they engulf you with the sounds of Italy.

Explore and celebrate Italy in this program of lively symphonic and choral works. Verdi's overture to La forza del destino (The Force of Destiny) captures the beauty and passion of Italy. Commonly known as the “Italian”, Mendelssohn's Symphony no. 4 is one of his most memorable and joyous, using the color and atmosphere of Italy as its inspiration. A selection of well-known Italian opera arias and choruses completes this Italian journey.
