SUMMARY
Auburn Symphony Orchestra’s 26th Season kicks off in the most “Extra(ordinarily) Fancy” way possible with music by Viet Cuong, Felix Mendelssohn and Ludwig van Beethoven. The concert opens with a work by Viet Cuong for chamber orchestra and dueling oboes. Come hear as ASO’s very own Shannon Spicciati and Dan Williams go “reed to reed” in the ultimate oboe smackdown! Rachell Ellen Wong, 2020 Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, will perform Felix Mendelssohn’s lustrous Violin Concerto. Beethoven’s monumental “Eroica” Symphony will close out this powerful season opening performance.
