Bruckner Orchestra Linz with Dennis Russell Davies, conductor November 11, 2009

Program
Bernstein – Symphonic Dances from West Side Story
Philip Glass – Violin Concerto
Philip Glass – Symphony No. 7

One of the leading orchestras of central Europe, the Bruckner Orchestra Linz has garnered an international reputation for the exceptional quality of its performances, recordings and radio broadcasts. With more than 200 years of history and tradition, this Austrian ensemble has made a name for itself with its recordings of Bruckner’s symphonies.

Conductor Dennis Russell Davies, long an advocate for and interpreter of the works of Philip Glass, is among today’s most inventive conductors — a modern, articulate and versatile artist revered for his command of both traditional and contemporary music.

The evening's performance of Philip Glass' Symphony No. 7 will feature the collaboration of the Bruckner Orchestra Linz with The Carolina Choir under the direction of Susan Klebanow.

The six performances in our two Classical series are made possible by the William R. Kenan, Jr. Trust Endowment.
