Season 70 Finale: Katsarelis conducts Beethoven

Cynthia Katsarelis conducts audience-captivating works for the orchestra in our 70th Season Finale. You'll meet a former member of the New World Symphony, violinist Alex Gonzalez, who regularly served as concertmaster to Michael Tilson Thomas and other distinguished guests. He'll delight in a performance of Brahms' Violin Concerto. A conga of fire, Conga del Fuego Nuevo has color, character, and flair. Energetic dance rhythms and a fiery percussion section create a dramatic atmosphere for all. Beethoven considered the Seventh Symphony his "most excellent symphony." The slow movement, perhaps the most enthralling, has had a profound impression on listeners from the beginning — it's simply irresistible!
