“More music for more people” is the theme of Glacier Symphony’s 35th concert season and to that end a young, innovative string quartet from Austin, Texas called Invoke will join the symphony as guest soloists for its November 18 and 19 Masterworks concerts.
Music Director John Zoltek titled the concert “Mahler’s Titan and Invoke” and will feature the Austin, TX based quartet in the Concerto for String Quartet and Orchestra by 20th Century composer Benjamin Lees, an exciting and rhythmically charged contemporary work. Invoke be featured as the quartet soloists. Following the Concerto Invoke will then play a mini encore set of their own crossover repertoire.
“This extraordinary work features Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1 in D minor called “Titan” composed in1887. Mahler is now considered one of the most influential composers of the 20th century,” Zoltek explains.
