The UWM Symphony Orchestra concert, conducted by Dr. Jun Kim, will feature soprano Lexi Smith and hornist Evan Goodson, winners of the 2025-26 UWM Concerto Competition, in performances of two iconic works by Richard Strauss. Smith will sing Strauss’s transcendent Four Last Songs, one of the most beloved masterpieces of the vocal-orchestral repertoire, while Goodson will perform the composer’s virtuosic Horn Concerto No. 1, a brilliant work that highlights both lyrical elegance and technical brilliance. The program also includes Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, a luminous and joyful work filled with warmth, wit, and classical grace. Often described as one of Beethoven’s most radiant symphonies, it brings energy, elegance, and vitality to a program that spans late-Romantic lyricism and Classical brilliance.
