Need a Valentine s gift for that special someone or need to treat yourself? Your Austin Symphony Orchestra will return to the live concert hall at the Long Center for the Performing Arts with The Greats, an evening featuring three amazing works by George Walker, William Grant Still and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky!
The evening begins with George Walker s
Lyric for Strings which was dedicated to the composer s grandmother. Written in 1946, this work was premiered that year under the title
Lament by the student orchestra of the Curtis Institute of Music conducted by Seymour Lipkin in a radio concert. In the following year it received its public premiere by the National Gallery Orchestra conducted by Richard Bales as part of an annual American music festival in Washington.
