Sixth grader Carson Knoll will join the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Choir for upcoming performances of Songs of Destiny on Saturday, March 4th at 7:30 P.M. & Sunday, March 5th at 2:30 P.M., both performances held at Willson Auditorium (404 West Main Street) in downtown Bozeman.  Several talented singers from the Chief Joseph Middle School Choir auditioned for the boy soprano solo featured in Chichester Psalms and the Symphony is thrilled to announce Carson Knoll as the talented young singer.

"My name is Carson Knoll. I am 12 years old and I attend 6th grade at Chief Joseph Middle School. I’ve always loved music and sing wherever I am. This is my first year in Choir and also my first year in Select Choir studying under Mrs. Savery. I auditioned for the boy soprano part because I knew it would be a great learning experience and, a unique opportunity for exposure to professional musicians and Maestro Savery. In addition to my passion for singing, I am a ski racer for Bridger Ski Foundation as a U14 Alpine racer. I also love spending time with my family and dogs in the outdoors hiking, camping, backpacking overnight, exploring the backcountry and traveling. I also love photography and take my camera wherever I explore."

Additional soloists from the Symphonic Choir, Kody Van Dyke (soprano), Mandy Bowker (alto), Jeff Abelin (tenor) and Doug Anderson (baritone), will be featured.  Songs of Destiny features the orchestra and symphonic choir as they present one of Johannes Brahms most profound compositions—his Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny), and for one of Leonard Bernstein’s most joyful and exuberant—the beloved Chichester Psalms. Renowned cellist Adrian Daurov takes the stage performing the epic Concerto in B minor by Antonín Dvořák—a work most of us consider a full-scale symphony with cello soloist.  This one is a must see, and hear! Stunning!
