Across the Globe w/ Stefan Jackiw & Austin Symphony Orchestra
Stefan Jackiw & Austin Symphony Orchestra
Prokofiev’s “Violin Concerto No. 2” opens, hauntingly, with the solo string, and you couldn’t ask for a finer violinist than Stefan Jackiw to launch the piece, and Austin Symphony Orchestra’s new season – the last to be helmed by longtime music director and conductor Peter Bay, who announced on Tuesday that he’ll be vacating his post after this season, his 30th with ASO. Also on the program: Mexican composer Gabriela Ortiz’s stirring “Kauyumari” and Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 78” – better known as the Organ Symphony – the last symphonic work composed by the former church organist. – Kimberley Jones
