Donald Schleicher, conductor; Lena Ying-Ting Wong, graduate assistant conductor; Wanxinyi Huang, viola (Northwestern Concerto Competition winner)
John Corigliano’s Promenade Overture opens the concert, an inventive piece with surprising staging. Northwestern Concerto Competition winner Wanxinyi Huang joins the orchestra for an arrangement of Elgar’s emotional Cello Concerto in E Minor. Concluding the concert is Brahms’ Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, a work that took the composer 21 years to complete.
