Conductor's Choice

with Bernhard Scully, horn
W. A. Mozart: Symphony No. 25
Richard Strauss: Horn Concerto No. 1
Ralph Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5
The most symphonic of this season’s concerts contains three of our Music Director’s personal favorites, each highly dramatic in its own way. Mozart’s 25th Symphony opened Peter Shaffer’s brilliant film Amadeus in startling fashion and will do the same for this program. We’ll feature the remarkable talent of the University of Illinois’s horn professor in Strauss’s first… Show more concerto for that instrument. And Vaughan Williams’s 5th Symphony will close the evening, running the gamut from sublime beauty to powerful and fiery passion.
