Farrenc - Overture No.1
Piazzolla - Aconcagua Concerto for Bandoneon and Orchestra
Price - Symphony No.1
featuring Hanzhi Wang - accordion
Opening the season is a concert dedicated entirely to the woman musician, both as a composer and performer. Highlighted by Chinese accordion player and winner of the 2017 International Young Concert Artist Auditions Hanzhi Wang, this program features a dramatic overture by the French virtuoso Louise Farrenc, and a symphony by little known African- American composer Florence Price.
Preceding the concert, The COT will host a seminar entitled Challenges Facing Women Musicians.
