\"\"<\/a>OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 The University of Mississippi’s Gertrude C. Ford Center<\/a> for the Performing Arts will host the North Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, with special guest and acclaimed German pianist Andreas Klein, for a Sunday (March 25) concert.<\/p>\n

The performance, titled “Revolutionaries,” will contrast the styles of Beethoven with 20th-century Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera. The orchestra will perform Beethoven’s “Corioloan Overture” and “Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major,” as well as Ginastera’s “Variaciones Concertantes.”<\/p>\n

The two renowned composers were born centuries apart, but both were part of political turmoil during their times and are known for their revolutionary work. To explore the work Beethoven and Ginastera more in-depth, the concert also will feature commentary from Klein and the orchestra’s conductor, Steven Byess.<\/p>\n

“This performance offers our audiences a unique opportunity to explore two exceptional composers and learn how Beethoven and Ginestera were involved in the events of their times and how they influenced them,” said Kate Meacham, Ford Center marketing director.<\/p>\n

Tickets for the 3 p.m. performance are available at the UM Box Office inside the Ford Center, or online at https:\/\/olemissboxoffice.com\/<\/a>. They are $30 for orchestra\/parterre and tier 1 box levels, $26 for mezzanine and tier 2 box levels and $22 for the balcony level. A 20 percent discount is available for UM faculty, staff and retirees when tickets are purchased at the box office. All UM student tickets are $8.<\/p>\n

The North Mississippi Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1971 as the Tupelo Symphony Orchestra by attorney Wade Lagrone. The orchestra has drawn musicians from around the South and has become well-known in the region, which led to its renaming in 2013.<\/p>\n

The goal of the orchestra is to provide classical music for north Mississippians and to reach out to the community through diverse programming and music education for people of all ages.<\/p>\n
