TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) – Indiana’s oldest professional symphony orchestra, based in Terre Haute, will perform Haydn’s popular C-major Cello Concerto featuring the symphony’s Principal Cellist, SeungAh Hong, as soloist.
The Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra concert will be Nov. 7 at 4:30 p.m. at Maryland Community Church, 4700 S State Road 46.
Hong said, “I love playing with my THSO colleagues because we all share the same goal of creating music to make the world a better place. Everyone in the orchestra pours their heart into their music making, and I find this so inspiring as an artist.”
The THSO will also feature Concertmaster Daniel Aizenshtadt and Associate Concertmaster Richard Henry Jenkins for the second movement of Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins, one of Bach’s most successful works. Aizenshtadt reflected on his passion for music and performing with the THSO, saying, “Very few orchestras in the world are as high-level as the THSO, and it is a true blessing to be able to perform in such an orchestra. Each and every performance is exciting, energetic, and unique.”
Also on the program is Handel’s famous “The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba” from his oratorio, “Solomon.” Audiences will recognize this popular work from the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games and is often heard in film and TV productions. The THSO will also perform Mozart’s light and whimsical “Country Dances,” a piece popular during Vienna’s Carnival season.
