Your evening will begin with Beethoven’s Leonore Overture No. 3. – one of four overtures the composer wrote for his only opera. Following, the Symphony’s incredible principal oboist, Rong-Huey Liu, takes center stage in Lebrun’s Oboe Concerto #2 in G Minor. Lebrun was the leading oboe player of the 1770s and ’80s, and when he died at the young age of 38, he had traveled Europe as a soloist and composed at least 18 concertos for his instrument. The very fast, lively first movement moves into a charming, lyrical, Mozartian second movement that all will enjoy.
