Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla Conductor
Jennifer Montone Horn
Haydn Horn Concerto No. 1
Bruckner Symphony No. 6
Program Notes
The perfect music for a fall concert of classics! Haydn’s elegant Horn Concerto is a joy for the listener and a supreme challenge for the soloist—triumphantly met by Principal Horn Jennifer Montone, who has been praised by the New York Times for her “warm and noble sound.” And Bruckner’s majestic and mysterious Sixth Symphony holds the listener spellbound.
Leading these concerts is a brilliant young conductor who has leapt onto the international stage: former music director of the famed City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra—following in the footsteps of giants like Simon Rattle— Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla has drawn breathless reviews like this one from the Los Angeles Times: “One of the best. When she is wild, she is very wild, exciting an orchestra. When she is calm, the music flows as a river does, on its purposeful own, leaving a lingering impression of quiet awe.”
