Music for the program includes Engelbert Humperdinck’s majestic late 19th century opera score adapted for symphony orchestra alone, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Concerto in D Minor for Two Violins, the virtuosic piano work Six Pièces Romantiques by French composer Cecile Chaminade, and the highly contemporary Zinc, I Giorni Andante by composers Zoe Keating and Ludovico Einaudi.
