orchestra to sing Mozart’s Ave Verum, often described as the most perfect 46 measures in all Western music. Who better to conduct all 140 musicians than our own Music Director Eckart Preu, who sang in a traditional German boys’ choir as a youth? Mozart’s short and simple hymn contrasts brilliantly with Strauss’s Death and Transfiguration, with all its lush pageantry and emotional complexity. Among the many versions in existence, Poulenc’s Stabat Mater stands out. From prayers to irreverence, Poulenc’s music is beautiful, ecstatic and transcendent. At the beginning of the concert we explore Hillborg’s extraordinary musical world. His King Tide creates an intriguing ebb and flow in the orchestra, with a humming string section and unconventional playing techniques. Fox Theatre. 1001 W Sprague Ave. Spokane, WA 99201.

November 21: Trans-Siberian Orchestra: The Christmas Attic Trans-Siberian Orchestra (TSO) will wrap up 2014 by performing their rock opera The Christmas Attic live for the first time in arenas across the nation on their winter tour. While 1998’s The Christmas Attic features one of the band’s most popular songs “Christmas Canon,” surprisingly, it is the only album of The Christmas Trilogy never to be performed live. TSO creator, lyricist and composer Paul O’Neill explains, “After kicking off the New Year in front of two million fans at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, followed by our second European tour, the band felt that a perfect way to end the year would be to perform the only rock opera from the trilogy that has never been seen live. Some of the songs off The Christmas Attic have never been played live. As I have always said ‘it is fun to write the songs, it is fun to record them, but they are never really completed until we perform them in front of a live arena audience’. Of course the second half of the show will feature, TSO iconic classics and fan favorites, such as “Wizards In Winter,” “Requiem” and “Christmas Eve/ Sarajevo 12/24”.
