An Alpine Symphony, Op. 64, required over 100 musicians and many unusual instruments, including a wind machine made locally from scratch. Composer Richard Strauss based the piece on a journey into the Alps as a teenager. The venue for the Auburn, CA, orchestra was the Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts on the UC Davis campus. The Mondavi’s are the wine people. The film is directed by Tommy Merry, an Auburn area resident, and features a young violin prodigy.
