Featuring LO principal cellist Nicholas Finch as the intrepid Don, Strauss’ virtuoso piece for orchestra is one of his most profound works. Equally comic and philosophical, the hero of this fairy-tale draws us into our own deepest emotions. Guest conductor Vinay Parameswaran, assistant conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, takes us on a voyage with British composer Anna Clyne who writes of spiritual and creative “turbulence.” Her Night Ferry travels through winds and waves in a vivid journey.

CONCERT TALK: Starting at 10AM in Whitney Hall, the LO, together with WUOL, offers a free, pre-concert discussion hosted by radio program direction Daniel Gilliam.
