Deborah Stapley-Graham

Thank you for joining us for tonight’s concert, Spirit, Song, and Remembrance. Our concert features Gabriela Lena Frank’s Eligia Andina, a rich tribute to her Peruvian ancestry, Doppler’s vivacious Concerto in D-minor for Two Flutes, and Durufle’s somber Requiem. Together, these pieces honor people and times that have passed while filling our hearts with the beauty of their compositions. We are so fortunate to be able to welcome our guest artists Bonita Boyd and Jeffrey Barker in collaboration with the Montana Flute Festival, and Mezzo Soprano Sarah Mattox and Baritone Charles Robert Stephens who will perform with our Symphony Chorale.

Tonight’s offerings are in keeping with the advent of Spring, a time when our traditions lead us to acknowledge that intrinsic to loss are the promises of renewal and the beauty of fresh beginnings. We can look at this season with hope that the worst of the Covid pandemic is behind us. We’re looking cautiously forward to better times.

As the ability to travel eases, the Missoula Symphony Association is elated to be able to resume our annual Charitable Adventure Raffle fundraiser. Imagine taking an Alaskan cruise, or a trip to Hawaii or Iceland. Or consider a more local adventure, glamping in style at The Ranch at Rock Creek. Refer to the insert in your program for more information regarding this incredible opportunity to support your Missoula Symphony.

Thank you, and enjoy the concert,

Deborah Stapley-Graham President
