"I am Richard Strauss". Those were the words, in English, that Strauss uttered to the American soldiers who came knocking on his door during WWII...out of the encounter came a comission to write a concerto!

You'll hear Strauss' "Don Quixote", coverage of the IL Primary, a Mahler symphony, a symphony by Shostakovich and more. . .

Louis Vierne's name is not as well known as Ravel's. His music comes from the same era and culture; you'll hear his Piano Quintet tonight.

It's a wide-ranging program, from Haydn's early 7th Symphony to music of Bartok and Ligeti.

Martha Argerich has received numerous distinctions, including the French Government’s “Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et Lettres”....she joins the LA Phil. in Schumann's only Piano Concerto, still a standard of the concerto repertoire.

"Berlioz is a genius". My 16-year old daughter said that after having discovered and learned about him through his "Symphonie fantastique" by way of her playing in the Eact Central Illinois Youth Orchestra led By Kevin Kelly. I think seasoned critics would agree.
