writing, Richard Strauss, this program features soprano Amy

versions of Allerseelen and Zueignung, and the effervescent
Waltzes from the Rosenkavalier. The program is rounded
out with Eric Whitacre’s moving Cloudburst, Boris
Kozhevnikov Symphony No. 3: Slavyanskaya, and Bach/
Reed, Komm, süsser Tod.

Mendelssohn, Overture for Band; Fisher Tull, Sketches on
a Tudor Psalm; Matthew Arnold, Prelude, Siciliano, and
Rondo, Guilmant, Morceau symphonique (trombone solo);
