Symphony Orchestra Fall Concert at Orchestra Hall

CYSO’s Symphony Orchestra presents their fall performance at Orchestra Hall on November 14 at 7:00 pm. 

A concert two years in the making, CYSO’s Symphony Orchestra makes their triumphant return to the Orchestra Hall stage on Sunday, November 14. As part of our commitment to performing new music and diversifying the classical music canon, CYSO is thrilled to present the Chicago premiere of Vivian Fung’s Trumpet Concerto performed by Gold Medal Global Music Award winner Mary Elizabeth Bowden, a 2000 CYSO alum. This is the first concerto written by a North American female composer for a female trumpet soloist and was awarded a New Music USA grant. The November 14 concert will also feature concerto performances from Symphony Orchestra’s Bianca Ciubancan performing Paganini’s Violin Concerto No 1 and Louis Auxenfans performing Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A Major, alongside works by Barber, Bernstein, and Tchaikovsky.
