Dinner and a Symphony Special $89
The Regina Symphony Orchestra closes the 2014-2015 season in grand style with Carmina Burana!
One of the most frequently performed choral works of the 21st century; Carmina Burana is based on a
medieval collection of poems humorously covering the joys and perils of fortune, nature, love, and lust.
“My collected works begin with the Carmina Burana,” declared Carl Orff after the successful premiere
in 1937 in Frankfurt, where it was staged with elaborate costumes and scenery. Carmina Burana also
turned out to be his most well received by far. While he subsequently composed over a dozen other
stage works in a similar musical style, none achieved the popularity of his “Opus One.”
Joining the RSO this evening are the dynamic and energetic voices of the Regina Philharmonic Chorus,
the Halcyon Chamber Choir, Allison Arends, Paul Williamson and Peter Alexander.
We want this night to be spectacular and for the first time the RSO will host a “Dinner and Symphony
Special” for only $89. Dinner begins at 6:00 pm and the finale, Carmina Burana, concert will follow at
8:00pm. Call the Box Office at 306.586.9555 and purchase your symphony and dinner package today.
This night ends with the RSO Piano Lottery draw at 10:00pm. Join us post-concert for an intimate and
short piano concert and dessert reception.
Don’t miss RSO’s 2014-2015 season finale!

DIETRICH PAREDES
Maestro Paredes will join the RSO for
“La Belle Epoque” on April 18 at Knox
Metropolitan United Church
Elegant technique and great communication skills as conductor put the
Venezuelan musician Dietrich Paredes in the vanguard of music in Latin
American. As chief conductor of the Youth Orchestra of Caracas (YOC), Paredes
has carried out valuable and fruitful work that has helped the orchestra improve
and develop. Paredes led the YOC on its first international tours: in Norway, at
the Bergen International Festival, as well as at many prestigious concert halls in
Oslo; and in China and Korea, both in 2011. In February 2012, he was invited
to guest conduct the Bergen Youth Orchestra in Oslo, and in April, the Central
American Youth Orchestra in El Salvador. In May 2012, he led the YOC in Lisbon
and Oporto, and after the success in Portugal, he led his orchestra again in
Norway, conducting concerts in Oslo, Hokksund, Drammen, Moss, Hamar, and
Lillehammer.
In the past, he served as guest conductor of the Carlos Chávez Orchestra in
Mexico (2005) and of the Sodre Youth Orchestra in Montevideo, Uruguay (2009).
He also served as music director of the Jóvenes Arcos de Venezuela orchestra
during its successful 2004 tour of Argentina.
This young maestro started a successful career as violinist in 1989 under the
guidance of Rubén Cova, Ulyses Ascanio, Santiago Garmendia, and José
Francisco del Castillo. Paredes has also studied with renowned violinists such
as Augustin Dumay, Olivier Charlier, Virginie Robilliard, Aaron Rosand, Maurice
Hasson, Yossy Zivoni, Daniel Stabrawa, Eugene Fodor, and Igor Oistrakh,
among others.
As a violin player, he won first prize at the Third International Competition
for young violinists held in Argentina in 1991, and was a member of
the first violin section of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra of
Venezuela and the Mercosur Youth Symphony Orchestra,
with which he performed in Brazil. In 2002 he entered the
Youth Orchestra of the Americas by competitive audition to
play as concertmaster at its debut concert.
