Respighi's The Pines of Rome in Provo

**Experience The Pines of Rome in Provo – a cinematic journey through sound** Step into the lush, cinematic landscapes of ancient Rome as our concert film takes you on a sweeping voyage along the city’s iconic pine groves. From the playful breezes of Villa Borghese to the moonlit hush of the Janiculum hill, and through the mystical dawn along the Appian Way, Respighi’s *The Pines of Rome* paints a vivid tableau of the Eternal City in music. The program continues with Richard Strauss’s exuberant *Suite from Der Rosenkavalier*, a sparkling homage to Vienna’s early‑20th‑century operatic passion. We then delight in the cinematic flair of Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s *Cello Concerto* (originally born for the film *Deception*), brought to life by the virtuoso Pablo Ferrández. The finale crowns the evening with Tchaikovsky’s graceful *Variations on a Rococo Theme*, a showcase of lyrical virtuosity and elegant ornamentation. Whether you’re a seasoned classical aficionado or new to the world of concert films, this immersive performance promises an engaging and unforgettable experience. Join us in Provo for a night of rhythm, romance, and remarkable artistry. *Details & tickets* are available under the “External links” section. Enjoy the show!
