J. Higdon Percussion Concerto
Beethoven Symphony No. 5
Jeffrey Mumford creates a rich orchestration and a sophisticated rhythmic interplay in this new work commissioned for the CSO. Jennifer Higdon wrote her Percussion Concerto in 2005 as a thrilling showcase for Scottish percussionist Colin Currie. The concert is capped off with perhaps the most famous symphony of all time. Join us in Corbett Tower after the Saturday performance for a free post-concert reception with the composer.”
