Contrasting Moods: Shostakovich & Bizet
Dmitri Shostakovich's introspective Cello Concerto is a stark contrast with Georges Bizet's light and lively Symphony in C Major. Jeffrey Butler, Houston Symphony cellist and a favorite with Houston audiences, is soloist in the Shostakovich piece.
Due to scheduling conflict with another organization the date of this concert will be changed to a date to be determined.
Event Date: TBA
Bach Meets Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich
Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings is followed by J. S. Bach's Concerto for Two Violins in D Minor, featuring Houston Symphony violinists Ferenc Illényi and Kurt Johnson.

Event Date: TBA

From the Classical era, Ludwig van Beethoven's Romance in F Major features violinist Ferenc Illényi.
