Had a nice doubleheader set up. The MSO and then 7 Walkers. The symphony was quite nice with several pieces I did rather enjoy. Guest violinist Robert McDuffe really can make his instrument stand up on its own. The program for the evening went like this:
Dvořák: Carnival Overture, Op. 92
Barber: Concerto for violin and orchestra, Op. 14
Allegro molto moderato
Andante sostenuto
Presto in moto perpetuo
Intermission (Whiskey Break)
Beethoven: Symphony #3 in E-flat Major, Op 55 (“Eroica”)
Allegro con brio
Marcia funebre
Scherzo: Allegro vivace
Allegro molto
