The Auburn Symphony Orchestra, under internationally-renowned conductor Stewart Kershaw, presents a three-program lineup for its 15th season.
ASO’s lineup begins in October with Rossini’s The Thieving Magpie Overture, Hummel’s Trumpet Concerto with 12-year old trumpet soloist Natalie Dungey, and Rachmaninov’s Symphony No. 1.
The orchestra’s February program brings the passion and expressiveness of Berlioz’ Benvenuto Cellini Overture; Liszt’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with Craig Sheppard, soloist; and Chausson’s Symphony in B.
April’s program features Prokoviev’s March in B Flat; Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with Brittany Boulding, soloist; Vaughan Williams’ Toward the Unknown Region with The Federal Way Chorale; and Elgar’s Enigma Variations to round out this fabulous 15th season.
