Beginning the program is Johannes Brahms’s boisterous Academic Festival Overture, followed by Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara’s Cantus Arcticus, a composition featuring birdcalls from the Arctic Circle. Bringing in sounds from a closer origin, the ECSO brass section will be featured in the Concerto for Brass and Orchestra by American composer James Beckel. Next, cellist Jung-Hsuan Ko, the 2014-15 winner of ECSO’s Instrumental Competition will be featured in Dmitri Shostakovich’s Cello Concerto No. 1. Closing the evening is Richard Wagner’s Die Meistersinger Prelude.
The concert is sponsored by Quanta Services.
