Eugene Symphony: Dvořák's Cello Concerto

Rossini: Overture to William Tell
Michael Djupstrom: Symphony No. 1 (World Premiere—Eugene Symphony Co-commission)
*Dvořák: Cello Concerto

One of the greatest artistic achievements of the Romantic era, Antonin Dvořák’s Cello Concerto is both exhilarating and profound, and showcases the cello in ways previously not thought possible when it was composed. Gioachino Rossini’s Overture to William Tell may be best known in this country for its use in The Lone Ranger and is a masterpiece through and through. In between, we’ll witness the world premiere of composer Michael Djupstrom’s First Symphony, as the final work in our four-year project investing in the future of orchestral music.
