The Carleton Orchestra will perform its annual fall concert on Friday, November 14, from 8-9:30pm in the Concert Hall. Hector Valdivia will be conducting. This year’s selection includes well known orchestral pieces such as Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No.3, Schubert’s Symphony No. 8, “Unfinished,” and Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphosis.

Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No.3 was first debuted in a theater in Vienna on March 26, 1827. The piece is the first revision of Beethoven’s opera Fidelio. It is one of Beethoven’s most selected concert pieces. Schubert’s Symphony No.8 is well known as an “unfinished” symphony. The symphony only contains two entire movements, rendering it incomplete despite Schubert living long after beginning the symphony’s composition. Historians do not know exactly why Schubert did not finish his work. Finally, Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphosis is one of more modern pieces featured by the Carleton Orchesta. Symphonic Metamorphosis was composed in the 1940s and was intended to accompany a ballet choreographed by Léonide Massine.
