A message from Maestro Alan Heatherington:

We have decided to celebrate our fiftieth anniversary by providing a retrospective sampling of masterworks that have thrilled performers and audiences throughout our history. Such pieces as the Beethoven "Eroica" and "Choral" symphonies and the Dvorák "New World" symphony have appeared on numerous past programs with brilliant success. Great soloists have performed the concertos of Brahms. More than thirty years ago I was soloist in the Bach violin concerto with Victor Aitay conducting and, as concertmaster, I played many of these works under his baton. This will be a season of very special music, and I look forward to sharing all of it with you, our faithful and treasured audience members.
