The Bozeman Symphony is excited to announce that the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra was nominated for two Northwest Emmy awards by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on April 8, 2022!

The Symphony was nominated in the entertainment and audio categories for our orchestra world premiere of New York City’s rising star composer Anthony Barfield’s Heritage Concerto, featuring the world-renowned euphonium player Demondrae Thurman. These Emmy nominations highlight an important step in the Bozeman Symphony Orchestra’s evolution to represent artistic excellence and innovation from breakout composers to virtuosic guest artists. Music Director Norman Huynh was thrilled to welcome composer Anthony Barfield and guest artist Demondrae Thurman to the Willson Auditorium during its Brahms Symphony No. 2classical series performance in November 2021. More than 2,800 people, in-person and virtually via the livestream performance, enjoyed Anthony Barfield’s riveting Heritage Concerto based on the Ancient Egyptian civilization.

The Bozeman Symphony’s Emmy nominations would not be possible without its exceptional orchestra musicians, Music Director Norman Huynh’s artistic vision and programming to include orchestra world premiere composer Anthony Barfield and virtuosic guest artist Demondrae Thurman, and to its livestream producer Jeremiah Slovarp of Jereco Studios, who prepared the livestream submission to the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
