ASO Presents: Autumn Cello and Dvořák
George Washington Masonic Memorial 101 Callahan Drive, Alexandria, Virginia 22301
ASO
Wolfgang Schmidt, cello
We celebrate fall by setting our intention with Boulanger’s Old Buddhist Prayer, in which the ASO will be joined by members of the Alexandria Choral Society and Fairfax Choral Society. Elgar wrote one of his last notable works–Cello Concerto in E minor–after enduring both physical and psychological turmoil; this passionate and contemplative work features world-renowned soloist Wolfgang Schmidt. An optimistic, lyrical piece inspired by Bohemian folk music, the program concludes with Dvořák’s sunny Eighth Symphony.
