Event description:
YSO’s Alumni Weekend concert presents some of the great musical talent within and beyond the Yale community, as the orchestra plays once again under the direction of Grammy-winning alumnus John Mauceri (BA ‘67, MPhil ‘72). As music director of the YSO from 1968 to 1974, Mauceri’s critical leadership and artistic vision during its formative years led the orchestra to gain the international prominence and respect it holds today. All are invited to join the YSO for this exciting collaboration featuring Schoenberg’s orchestration of Bach’s Prelude and Fugue, Stokowski’s arrangement of Wagner’s Finale from “Parsifal,” and Richard Strauss’s invigorating tale of triumph, struggle, and love, Ein Heldenleben.
