The Galveston Symphony will perform three more concerts in our 40th anniversary season.
Orchestra fans are in for a treat on February 9 as Saeverud himself will perform Paganini’s First Violin Concerto
Then, on March 15, the concert program will include the world premiere of a new piano concerto by Saeverud’s father, Ketil Hvoslef, a prolific Norwegian composer and four-time recipient of the Norwegian Society of Composers’ Work of the Year award.
And the season will end on a high note on April 19th, with Respighi’s rousing ‘Pines of Rome!’
Concerts are Sundays at 4 p.m. in The Grand 1894 Opera House, 2020 Postoffice Street in Galveston’s historic downtown district.
The Symphony’s companion series, Moody Mansion Music, offers opportunities to meet visiting soloists. The up-close and intimate recitals are at 7 p.m. in the ballroom of Galveston’s beautiful historic Moody Mansion, 2618 Broadway Avenue.
