Classical Cafe:

Sunday: UT Symphony Orch. Plays Hindemith, Mahler, Weber

Here at the Classical Cafe, we love savory dishes. If your taste in classical music leans toward the savory, you'll probably want to catch this Sunday's UT Symphony Orchestra concert where guest conductor Anthony Parnther will lead the orchestra in a program that probably wouldn't have been possible just a few years ago.

On the concert is:

Blumine -- Blumine is the deleted second Andante movement originally from Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1 that was heard on the September concert. The movement is also known for its lovely trumpet solo. Trumpet soloist is Emily Whildin.

Andante e Rondo Ungarese  --  by Carl Maria von Weber.  Although Weber originally wrote this for viola and orchestra (his brother was a violist), it was transcribed for bassoon and it is that version that is regularly performed. UT alumnus bassoonist Steven V. Ingel will be the soloist.

Symphonic Metamorphosis (on themes of Carl Maria von Weber) -- Paul Hindemith This work from 1944 is in four movements. Don't miss this.

Three's Company - Steven Amundson. This work for three bassoons and strings features three bassoonists who just happened to be hanging around: UT's bassoon faculty Keith McClelland, Steven V. Ingel, and the guest conductor himself, Anthony Parnther, who just happens to a bassoonist as well.
