This season, please join us in celebrang 75 wonderful years of music making! The Wyoming Symphony Orchestra has emerged as an exceponal regional organizaon dedicated to performing a wide array of symphonic music with high arsc standards. It is no coincidence that Music Director Christopher Dragon has made an immensely posive impact, and has provided the framework for a bright future. How fortuitous to celebrate his success alongside our diamond anniversary!Music is an indispensable part of our lives! We fulll the WSO mission by bringing remarkable music to the community and engaging in educaonal outreach that informs and inspires our youth. Through the power of music, we gather as a community to li our spirits and experience performances that reect on the lives and mes of the symphonic composers.A vibrant and cultural community depends on arts organizaons like the WSO to connually nurture, inspire, and engage the people it serves. As president of the WSO Board of Directors, I wish to thank our loyal donors, musicians, concertgoers, volunteers, grantors, fellow board members, as well as the execuve director and sta for their dedicaon and enthusiasm. Your connued generosity holds the key to our mutual success. While it is important to celebrate our past, the Board is making excing plans for the future. In doing so, we are dedicated to ensure another 75 years of great music in the life of the community. Bravo!With gratude,Eric W. Unruh, D.M.President, WSO Board of Directors

Born in L.A., raised in Taipei, and honed in America’s top music schools, Steven Lin has craed a career in music—steady, respected, and quietly compelling.He started piano at six in Taipei, a quiet choice that shaped his future. At ten, he returned to the United States, earning a scholarship to The Juilliard School in New York. Under Yoheved Kaplinsky’s guidance, he rened a talent that soon stood out. By thirteen, he debuted with the New York Philharmonic, a young performer with a presence that promised more.His educaon built a rm foundaon. At Juilliard, he completed a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree, studying with Kaplinsky, Ma Raekallio, and Robert McDonald. He later earned an Arst Diploma at the Curs Instute of Music in Philadelphia under McDonald’s mentorship. But his true stride came on stage. He claimed a top prize at the Arthur Rubinstein Internaonal Piano Compeon in Tel Aviv and a Jury Discreonary Award at the Cliburn Compeon, signs of his rising note. In 2013, his Carnegie Hall recital drew The New York Times to call his playing “immaculately voiced and enhanced by admirable subtlees of shading and dynamics.” In 2014, he debuted at the Kennedy Center, where The Washington Post noted he “coaxes a wide range of expression with power and precision”—praise that rooted him rmly in the U.S. spotlight.Steven’s career spanned the globe. He performed with the Kansas City Symphony under Michael Stern, the Fort Worth Symphony with Miguel Harth-Bedoya, and the Israel Philharmonic with Asher Fisch. His recitals lled halls from the Louvre in Paris to Munich’s Gasteig, reaching cies like Dubai and Spain’s Basque region. In Korea, he shared the stage with Gidon Kremer and Misha Maisky, a standout collaboraon. Stateside, he appeared at Bravo! Vail Valley, Aspen, and La Jolla’s SummerFest. In 2023, he debuted with the San Diego Symphony, and in 2024 and 2025, he served as Arst in Residence with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra, a e to his formave years. His journey has had public echoes. As a teenager, he featured on NPR’s From The Top, and in 2015, the PBS documentary Virtuosity traced his rise.Steven LinGUEST ARTIST

Anne M. Guzzo is a Wyoming-based composer who draws on science and nature, playful absurdism, and interdisciplinary collaboraon to create music that has been described as moving and humorous. She is the 2025 Composer in Residence for the Wyoming Symphony. Guzzo—an Emmy-nominated and internaonally performed composer—is passionate about new music. She founded and directs the Wyoming Fesval: New Music in the Mountains, a chamber music fesval in Grand Teton Naonal Park. Anne has been a fellow in residence with Ucross, Wyoming, the Brushcreek Foundaon, and the Whitely Center at Friday Harbor Labs in Washington state. Her music has been heard on NPR’s Performance Today, on the Grand Teton Music Fesval Inside the Music Series, and the Bowling Green New Music Fesval, among others, and has been performed and recorded by the AdZel Duo, Voices of Change, the Chaanooga Symphony, the Wyoming Symphony, The Cheyenne Symphony, Third Angle in Portland, OR, Synchromy in Los Angeles, and others. For more informaon, go to anneguzzo.com.Anne Guzzo COMPOSERA concerto for orchestra is a virtuosic tribute to the symphony orchestra, a chance to show o the color, brilliance, emoon, and versality of the ensemble—basically a composer’s dream. I’m always inspired by nature – so the tles of each movement include both a musical term and a ying animal that inspired me while wring. As I was composing, my dear neighbor friends and I had discovered a very large, bonded pair of great horned owls in our local park. They are such intense and amazing creatures—and I felt their determinaon and power. In the second movement, there is introspecon as well as a kind of rhythm that is reminiscent of dragony wings beang. I love to sit by a stream in summer and quietly watch these iridescent, graceful creatures in a nature meditaon. (It can’t help but be noced that the commissioner of this Concerto is Christopher Dragon.)The third movement, full of joy, was inspired the crows my father used to feed—they loudly and raucously brought him gis in return: shiny baubles of discarded Christmas bulbs, gum wrappers, and anything else they found suitable as an oering. The Concerto for Orchestra was commissioned by the Wyoming Symphony Orchestra and Maestro Christopher Dragon. -A. M. GuzzoARTIST'S NOTE

Time ies when you're having fun—or when we spring forward for daylight saving me.As we celebrate 75 years of the Wyoming Symphony, we reect on concerts that feel like they happened just yesterday. We recall new works premiered on this stage and pieces that were new to us when we rst heard them here. Tonight’s program features music that embodies both of these experiences.Franz von Suppé is best known for his lively opereas and theater music, including Poet and Peasant, The Light Cavalry, and Pique Dame (Queen of Spades)—the laer’s overture being performed this evening. The piece begins with a playful, almost cat-like passage in the strings, punctuated by a sudden burst from the orchestra. The overture alternates between lyrical and energec secons, including a charming ute duet, before building to an exuberant conclusion. Listen for the percussion in the nal secon, as they punctuate the beat and propel the music forward, a hallmark of late 19th-century theater music.Sergei Rachmaninov, like many great composers, came from a musical family and demonstrated his talent early. He began studying piano at age four and, by ten, had already compiled a respectable porolio of composions. His enduring works include his symphonies, Symphonic Dances, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, and four piano concertos—his third being perhaps the most celebrated. Wrien in Dresden and completed in September 1909, the concerto premiered that December in New York with the New York Symphony Society, conducted by Walter Damrosch, and featuring Rachmaninov himself at the piano.The concerto follows the tradional three-movement structure and is scored for a fairly standard orchestra of the me, with pairs of woodwinds, an expanded brass secon (four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, and tuba), a full complement of percussion, and strings. While adhering to the sonata-allegro form familiar from concertos since Haydn, Rachmaninov’s third diers in that the soloist enters almost immediately rather than alternang themac statements between orchestra and piano. This approach, also used in his second concerto, immerses the listener in the full texture of the music from the start.Program Notes

The rst movement opens with a brief statement in the woodwinds and strings before the piano introduces the main theme. Almost immediately, a subtle rhythmic tension emerges, as the soloist and orchestra seem slightly out of sync—a push and pull that connues throughout the movement, creang an emoonal roller coaster characterisc of the late Romanc period. Unlike the Classical-era composers like Haydn and Mozart, who primarily developed themes through melodic variaon, Rachmaninov expands on his musical ideas through rhythmic displacement, rich harmonic shis, and dramac textural contrasts. The result is an intricate and capvang musical journey.Aer the soloist’s rst complete statement of the theme, the orchestra takes it up while the piano embellishes with virtuosic ourishes. This interplay connues unl the music seles into a brief cadenza before introducing the second, more lyrical theme. The development secon follows, beginning with a familiar phrase from the opening before taking unexpected harmonic turns. Tension builds through fragmented melodies, rapid modulaons, and a thickening orchestral texture before the movement ends with the same quiet understatement with which it began.The second movement, Intermezzo, shis the mood dramacally. It is almost brooding, with ideas that oat and evolve throughout. Aer the energy expended in the rst movement, this secon provides a moment of introspecon. Its imagery is stark, yet the piano’s owing lines add warmth—like walking through a winter landscape and catching the distant sound of a piano from a warmly lit home. A brief solo cadenza seamlessly transions us into the nale.The nal movement resumes the frenec energy of the rst, now intensied by harmonic instability that heightens the sense of speed. At mes, the music takes on a fast march-like character before easing into a more lyrical passage. Listen for the ways tension is built and released—when harmonies wander unexpectedly or familiar themes suddenly take a surprising turn.Tonight, as we celebrate the Wyoming Symphony’s 75th anniversary, we do so through music that spans me, emoon, and experience. Here’s to the next 75 years—aer all, me ies.
