Wachholz College Center

Award winning, Ukrainian born pianist Anna Shelest, known as a champion of women composers, is featured in two exciting works for piano and orchestra by historically significant women composers. Clara Schumann’s only Piano Concerto is testament to her considerable talent as a composer and virtuoso pianist. The work is steeped in the Romantic tradition with lush harmonies and longing melodies. Chaminade’s exciting work is brilliant in orchestral colour and pianistic technique. Brahms’ symphonic masterpiece sometimes considered the composer’s “pastoral” symphony, at times envelops and soars like a Romantic Cathedral

"Top notch, big city symphony in a small Montana town."

-Alan Roy, Concert Attendee
"Fantastic symphony orchestra hosting friendly and inviting events! We attended our first Symphony performance last month since moving to Kalispell and tremendously enjoyed it. We highly recommend supporting this gem of an organization in our community."

-Kyle Ziegler, Concert Attendee
"The wonderful Glacier Symphony and Chorale offers a year-round schedule of top-notch classical programing. The musical quality of their performances rivals what you would expect to see in a major city. Maestro John Zoltek brings world class skill and charisma to his role as conductor and music director."

-Jennifer Li, Concert Attendee
“We were entirely speechless after seeing Ode to Joy, Handel's Messiah, and the Nutcracker. Your entire team did an outstanding job! Y'all are on par with symphonies from larger cities. We are so proud to call Kalispell (or in our case, Lakeside), home!”

-Jacqueline Montoya, Concert Attendee
