Beethoven, Dvořák or Rimsky-Korsakov?

Well, you are about to play a major role in determining the outcome of this concert! I wanted this to be a popular symphonic work, so I chose three works for you to decide on: Beethoven’s Pastorale Symphony, Dvořák’s New World Symphony, and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade. I also left a chance for you to write in your own suggestion. It will be fun to see how this turns out. The first half of the concert opens with a fun work titled Loco by Jennifer Higdon, followed by the return of another favorite artist of mine, Steven Isserlis who has enjoyed a long and distinguished career as one of the world’s foremost cellists. He will perform Kabalevsky’s second cello concerto, a premiere for the MSO. Subscribe and VOTE!  – John DeMain, Music Director
