Tomorrow night, Saturday the 16th, the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra will open its new season with a Gala Concert at the Tulsa PAC (beginning at 8pm). On the program, the "Hungarian Dances No. 1 and No. 5" by Brahms, the "Miraculous Mandarin Suite" by Bartok, and the masterful " Piano Concerto No. 2" by Brahms (which will feature a special guest soloist, the noted pianist Jon Kimura Parker). On this installment of ST, we talk about this concert with Daniel Hege, who is the TSO's Principal Guest Conductor, and Angela Carter, who's a clarinetist with the orchestra and also one of its Executive Musicians (working in the area of Development).
