Bad@ss Bassoonists and Beethoven's Seventh November 17, 2012

New delights and variations on old ones: Maestro Eric Kujawsky conducts Beethoven's Seventh Symphony in the Bay Area premiere of Gustav Mahler's "retouched" version of the score. The program opens with Strauss Jr.'s popular "Perpetuum Mobile," which gradually morphs into H. K. Gruber's comic/menacing parody, "Charivari." Bassoon quartet Infernal Fagotti will don motorcycle jackets and a lot of attitude when they play Michael Daugherty's "Hell's Angels"!

Kujawsky will deliver a pre-concert lecture, complete with the latest comic offerings from online, at 7:00.
