Details

Handel’s Water Music, composed after England’s King George I requested a concert on the River Thames, is filled with life-affirming music. 

Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto is one of the best-known instrumental works from the first half of the 18th century, and his use of horns in Concerto No. 1 give the piece an outdoor, autumnal feeling. Ken Heinlein, principal tuba, will take center stage in the premiere of a Tuba Concerto by composer Clint Needham.
