Fate Knocks at the Door June 6, 2009

Beloved, popular and admired, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is one of the greatest musical masterpieces of and for all time. Its psychological portrayal of fate knocking at the door to the final affirmation of human freedom and dignity is sublime. The full triumphal impact on the inner self can only be fully appreciated in live performance by a great orchestra enjoyed locally amongst friends and neighbors.

The concert will also feature Violinist Shannon Huston Performing the 2nd movement of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto.

He has participated in two CMEA Solo and Quartet Festivals receiving three superior ratings. In the fall he will be attending CSU Sacramento in pursuit of a Bachelor degree in Music Performance. He lives with his parents, Sam and Susanne Houston in Antioch along with his two dogs, Storm and Shadow, and six parrots.
