Honored by the League of American Orchestras, guest conductor Daniel Hege returns to Chapman Music Hall to lead the orchestra in a dark and mysterious concert replicating the tone from the opera, Khovanshchina. Rich harmonies evoke a feeling of dawn over Moscow for the audience in Tulsa's Performing Arts Center.
Thereafter, enjoy the expressive work of Ruth Gipps's Horn Concerto, Op. 58 which features a three-movement piece each with its own character and mood, ending on a likely and rhythmic passage. Hege leads the orchestra into the final and majestic selection of Schubert’s Symphony No. 9 in C major, D.944, “The Great.” This four-movement piece travels through a bold, a relaxed, a lively and a triumphant orchestral journey. A concert not to be missed!
