November Concert 

Ohio Wesleyan University

Dig a little deeper into Stravinsky at this concert with his Carnival piece, "Petrushka," the story of puppets brought to life. We also welcome pianist Henry Kramer for his first appearance with the ASO, where he will bound his way through Beethoven's 4th piano concerto.

Petrushka

Adrian College

Longtime A2SO concertmaster Aaron Berofsky takes the stage to perform Mendelssohn’s sparkling and virtuosic Violin Concerto, a work that established a central place in the repertoire from its very first performance and a definitive musical statement of the early Romantics.

Mendelssohn Violin Concerto

University of Michigan

Under the masterful baton of Arian Khaefi, Mandeville Auditorium will resonate with the vibrant compositions of Kristen Kuster, Samuel Barber, and Gabriela Lena Frank. Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Florence Price’s Piano Concerto in One Movement, followed by the electrifying rhythms of Leonard Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. Also, don’t miss the second-ever performance of Gala Flagello’s Bravado.

This Soil

University of California San Diego

Beethoven's third symphony marked a turning point in the history of western music. Not only did it change the course of his own career, but it also had a profound impact on all composers who came after him. This program features two other "Breakthrough" pieces that helped their composers gain wider recognition, fame, and a greater interest in the very note they composed. Listen to the early works of three trailblazing composers and witness the beginnings of their illustrious career. 

Heroic Eroica

Visalia Fox Theatre

Gala Flagello will return to Delaware to introduce her composition Bravado, which was written for the Tanglewood Orchestra last year. Dylana Jenson, a renowned violinist who received the Silver Medal at the Tchaikovsky Competition and has performed at Carnegie Hall, will play Brahms's only violin concerto. The Symphony will close the concert by performing Carl Nielsen's second symphony, The Four Temparaments.
