"A change of diet.  Our guest conductor, Eckart Preu, will infuse the season with classical music from the first half of the 19th century ... and the second half of the twentieth.  All this music is sparkling, clean and clear.  The mischief and humor of Rossini's Overture contrasts with the drama and poetic introspection of Mendelssohn's Symphony of the early Romantic Period.  Both are counterbalanced by the unpredictability and rhythmic intensity of John Adams' Concerto which reaches almost hypnotic proportions." - Christopher Zimmerman
