The Oak Ridge Symphony Orchestra, led by Music Director Dan Allcott, completes its 74th season with music by Vaughan Williams, Skalkottas, Dvořák, Bartók and more on Saturday, April 27.
Principal oboist Deniz Yayman
Concertmaster Karen Kartal, and principal oboist Deniz Yayman take solo spotlights in works by J.S. Bach and film composer Ennio Morricone.
"For an oboist to have a solo spotlight in front of the orchestra is somewhat of a rarity, and in this concert, I will play the Bach Concerto with Karen (Kartal), and also the famous piece, 'Gabriel's Oboe' from The Mission," Yayman said.
The concert also features folk dances by 20th century Greek composer Nikos Skalkottas and 20th century Hungarian composer Béla Bartók. Concerto Grosso by Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Nocturne, Op. 40 by Antonín Dvořák round out the program.
