Cornell Symphony Orchestra – Chris Younghoon Kim, conductor. April 29, 2018.
Baily Hall, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. Program – Tchaikovsky Marche Slave, Op. 31 Symphony No. 6 No, I didn’t go to Ithaca for this concert. I was sent a link for their live broadcast, which I sat through. I played in this orchestra in the 1970s, the conductor was Karel Husa.

Tickets can be purchased with cash or personal checks at the door: $20 for general admission, $15 for seniors and $5 for students. Visit www.oakwoodchamberplayers.com for more information. Here are notes to the eclectic and unusually noteworthy program: In 2011, American composer Byron Adams (below top) wrote a piece to honor the notable Czech-American composer Karel Husa (below bottom), who was also his composition teacher at Cornell University . The Serenade (Homage de Husa) not only illuminates Husa’s Czech heritage through musical references but also captures the essence of his positive influence in a piece that shows musical charm and wit. With the death of the Pulitzer Prize -winning Husa this past December, the intended tribute is particularly appropriate. The Notturno (Nocturne) by Arnold Schoenberg (below) is […]
