2009-2010 Season

Masterpiece Season!

An Invitation from the Conductor

We invite you to join us for a season of masterpieces for orchestra. I’ve programmed some familiar favorites such as Grieg’s famous Piano Concerto alongside what is for me a new discovery – music of Swedish composer Franz Berwald. We’ll be continuing our Beethoven Symphony Cycle with a performance of Beethoven’s personal favorite – the Seventh, and we’re presenting an exciting world premiere. The season features some fresh faces in the solo line-up too, including three UNCW faculty members: Marina DeRatmiroff, soprano, Christopher Johns, violincello, and Elizabeth Lopartis, piano.
