Glacier Symphony goes “electric” on Jan. 23 and 24 with a decidedly different approach to classical music when it presents “Electric Blizzard – Rodeo Pops,” a concert featuring the groundbreaking six-string electric violinist, Tracy Silverman. The artist will perform a sampling of his original compositions with the orchestra. But traditional music fans need not despair as the concert repertoire will also include Aaron Copland’s iconic work “Rodeo” for the second half of the concert. All in all it will be a diverse evening of music ranging in styles reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix to the classical cowboy themes of “Buckaroo Holiday” and “Hoedown” for which Copland is so famous. The weekend concerts with Silverman will be held on Saturday, Jan. 23, 7:30 pm at Whitefish Performing Arts Center and Sunday, Jan. 24 at 3 pm at Flathead High School Performance Hall in Kalispell.
