Before turning to conducting, guest conductor David Lockington began his musical career as an accomplished cellist. Audiences can marvel in this distinguished musician-turned conductor for our maiden performance at the University of Tulsa’s Gussman Concert Hall when he leads the orchestra in J.S. Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G major, BWV1048. This three-movement piece is notable for its vibrant string ensemble which showcases Bach’s mastery of counterpoint and orchestration.

Next, Fung’s Concerto for Two Violins and String Orchestra is a dynamic and engaging piece that explores the curious interplay of two solo violins and a string orchestra. The concert finale ends with the elegant four movement composition of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings in C major, Op. 48 a beloved and majestic string orchestra piece.
