Johannes Gray - Cello, Winner of  Walgreens National Concerto Competition

Celebration: Symphonic Dance for Orchestra Paul Basler
Symphony No. 8 in B Minor (Unfinished) Franz Schubert
Concerto for Cello and Orchestra in B Minor, Op. 104 Antonin Dvorak

A lively celebration of youthful spirits and prodigious talent. The concert begins with a Symphonic Dance for Orchestra by Paul Basler that is pure sonic fun. Franz Schubert’s staggering output belies the brevity of his life. The memorable themes of Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony are beloved by listeners of all ages. Fourteen-year-old phenom, Johannes Gray, has been winning competitions and establishing himself as an important new talent on the cello. He will be featured in Dvorak’s masterful cello concerto, one of the most symphonic of all concertos.

This concert is underwritten with a generous gift from Raymond and Sally Allen Charities.
