Walker, Strauss + Sibelius

Experience the power of Jean Sibelius’s fifth symphony, with its soaring horns and famous finale. This is paired with Richard Strauss’s virtuosic Oboe Concerto performed by Principal Oboist Alex Klein — a work that won him a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Solo with Orchestra. The concert begins with American composer George Walker’s Lyric for Strings, an emotional work dedicated to his grandmother.
