Guest conductor Barbara Yahr will conduct Dvorak's New World Symphony at RSO Opening Concert Tomorrow Night

RSO Concert Tomorrow Evening!

Guest conductor Barbara Yahr will conduct Dvorak's New World Symphony at the Ridgefield Symphony Orchestra's opening concert on October 1 at 8:00 PM.  At the Carnegie Hall premiere of the piece, each movement was greeted with thunderous applause!

The program also includes Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 1, the Bruch G Minor Violin Concerto with soloist Yevgeny Kutik and a commissioned piece Sphere of Influence by Chris Brubeck in which the orchestra is joined by the Performing Arts Group of SPHERE (Special People's Housing, Education, Recreation, and Employment).

Ms. Yahr's career spans the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.  She completed a four-year appointment with the Pittsburgh Symphony under Lorin Maazel in 1994.  She has a bachelor's degree in conducting from Curtis Institute of Music, a master's degree in music theory from the Manhattan School of Music, and a master's degree in music therapy from NYU.  She has created Together in Music, a concert series dedicated to bringing orchestra music to the special needs community.  The conducting of the SPHERE performers in collaboration with the orchestra is a perfect complement to her community music therapy project.

The concert is sponsored by Fairfield County Bank. 

Tickets are available at ridgefieldsymphony.org or by calling (203)438-3889.
