Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra May 10, 2008

Subscription Concert #6 - Times and Places

The orchestra closes its season with a lavish selection of music evoking moods and scenes. Beginning with Rossini’s witty overture to his farcical opera Il Signor Bruschino, the orchestra will move to exquisite atmospheric selections by Delius, Elgar, and Barber. Rarely heard concert music for tuba will be played by the internationally acclaimed virtuoso Øystein Baadsvik, and the orchestra will conclude a brilliant season with Respighi’s reverberant Pines of Rome.

Highlights include:

Barber Intermezzo from Vanessa
Vaughn Williams Concerto for Tuba, and
Arban Carnival of Venice with soloist Øystein Baadvik
Respeghi The Pines of Rome
