The masterful music of Mozart, Brahms and Mendelssohn will open our season. Mr. Mautner, principal cellist with the La Mirada Symphony Orchestra, will step up to the podium to display his considerable talents as a conductor. The Program will open with a passionate overture characterizing the impetuous, pleasure-seeking Don Giovanni from Mozart’s famous opera. Next, a Brahms concerto, one of the four great German violin concerti, will be further enhanced by the vibrantly talented Thi Nguyen. Ending the evening will be the marvelous and stirring Symphony No. 5 ‘Reformation’, one of the most famous of all symphonies.
