For our first concert of 2009, we will Sound the Horn with soloist and Springfield native Julia Pilant. A regular with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, she will spotlight Springfield as she performs the Richard Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1. The program will also include Ravel’s impressionistic masterpiece Le Tombeau de Couperin and Beethoven’s masterful Symphony No. 8.
