Description
The 2009/10 Season opens in September with cello virtuoso Steven Isserlis performing Franz Josef Haydn’s Cello Concerto in C Major in tribute to the composer’s bicentennial. Music Director Nicholas McGegan conducts this entertaining program that also features one of Haydn’s most popular London symphonies, known as “The Clock” for its steady, driving tempo, and Ludwig van Beethoven’s energetic Symphony No. 7 that was famously described by Richard Wagner as being the “apotheosis of the dance.”Nicholas McGegan, conductor
