Austin Huntington

Prize-winning cellist and rising star Austin Huntington joins us to perform Dvořák’s magnificent cello concerto. Dvořák takes us on a personal journey with this concerto, which embodies his personal style and expresses his deepest feelings. Our evening begins with the introduction to Khovantchina, Mussorgsky’s quiet musical depiction of sunrise on the Moscow River. From there, we are transported into the lives of Romeo and Juliet through the miraculous musical voice of Prokofiev.
