| Description: |
Secrest Artitsts Series presents Bruckner Orchester Linz with Dennis Russell Davies, conductor.
The Bruckner Orchester has a rich history of over 200 years of excellence. In the more recent past, it has risen to prominence as a leading orchestra in Central Europe. The Orchestra's 110 musicians are dedicated to "reflecting tradition and the present equally" as a "key task of any orchestra that plays an important role in the cultural life of our times."
The Bruckner Orchester has made a name for itself over the decades with its recordings of works by Mozart, Schubert, Matthus, Schmidt, Korngold, Holst, and all of Bruckner's symphonies in their original version.
The orchestra's intentionality and purpose impacts the culturally relevant works they choose for performance; their program for Wake Forest will include works by Philip Glass and Leonard Bernstein.
David Levy, Wake Forest professor of music and Beethoven scholar, will give a pre-performance talk at 6:40 p.m. in the Balcony Room of Wait Chapel. |
