SYNOPSIS:

Utah Symphony

HELEN GRIME: Near Midnight
BRUCH: Scottish Fantasy
ELGAR: Enigma Variations

From a single melody, Elgar cleverly spins out 14 musical caricatures of his friends and family (and even a dog!) in the Enigma Variations. The Utah Symphony’s own Concertmaster, Madeline Adkins, is soloist in Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy—a concerto that feels authentically Scottish although the composer was virtually a stranger to the country—and the evening opens with a work from present-day Scotland, Helene Grime’s restless yet reflective Near Midnight.
