Our Festival Orchestra Series Gets Off to a Great Start!

Last night was the first concert in our Festival Orchestra Series featuring the Eastern Festival Orchestra and conductor Gerard Schwarz. Each week this faculty orchestra performs some of the greatest repertoire for orchestra and features a renowned guest artist. Last night the guest artist was Vladimir Feltsman, the Moscow-born pianist who is a regular soloist with the best orchestras around the world. He performed Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, op.37 to overwhelming approval. His musicality, technique, and interaction with the orchestra made it a joy to listen to. The orchestra also performed Prelude to Black Swan by Bright Sheng and Symphony No. 3 in C minor, op.78 by Saint-Saens with Andre Lash on organ.
