Beethoven, Bach, Haydn & Mozart

FABIO LUISI conducts NATHAN OLSON violin STUART STEPHENSON trumpet KATHRYN HENRY soprano BEETHOVEN “Ah, perfido!” Scene and Aria for Soprano and Orchestra BACH Violin Concerto in E Major HAYDN Trumpet Concerto in E-flat Major MOZART Symphony No. 35 in D Major, K. 385, “Haffner” Three spectacular soloists grace this program that follows a thread of musical styles from Baroque to early Classical. Co-Concertmaster Nathan Olson is front-and-center in Bach’s Violin Concerto in E Major, whose poignant Adagio is one of his most sublime creations, with the solo violin exquisitely embroidering the underlying bass line. Our Principal Trumpet Stuart Stephenson does the honors in Haydn’s tour de force concerto, traversing the instrument’s registers by leaps and bounds, but also bringing out its singing qualities. Mozart’s festive “Haffner” Symphony ends in a romping rondo, that Mozart said had to be played “as fast as possible.” In a dramatic concert aria, Kathryn Henry calls down the wrath of the gods on her perfidious lover. Hell hath no fury… PERFORMANCE PRELUDES Join us for a special pre-concert talk with Assistant Conductor Shira Samuels-Shragg! The talks will take place from Horchow Hall starting at 6:30pm each concert evening and 1:00pm on Sunday.

I. M. Pei-designed home to the Dallas Symphony is also host to visiting orchestras & musical acts.
