Epic Horizons

Epic Horizons brings together two master composers whose work spans the full gamut of cinematic grandeur and symphonic form—Miklós Rózsa and Jean Sibelius. The program opens with the iconic Ben‑Hur Suite, a tour‑de‑force of bold orchestration and unmistakable drama that instantly sets the stage. Rózsa’s Viola Concerto follows, a lesser‑known gem that reveals his lyrical, intimate, and fiercely virtuosic voice beyond the screen. The evening culminates in Sibelius’s Symphony No. 5, a work of elemental power and architectural clarity, whose finale is one of the most unforgettable culminating moments in the symphony repertoire. Though the two composers never met, they shared a quiet bond through their time spent composing in Rapallo, Italy, drawn to the same coastal landscape for focus and inspiration. At once epic and atmospheric, this program invites you into a world of scale and awe. Experience the wonder—details and tickets available through the Vianello Family.
