Conducted by Marcelo Lehninger, featuring Rossini Overture to L’italiania in Algeri (An Italian in Algiers), Bottesini Concerto for Double Bass, and Mendelssohn Symphony No. 4, “Italian”. The 19th century Italian Giovanni Bottesini, known as the “Paganini of the Double Bass” for his acclaimed virtuosity, composed music especially to show off his considerable skills as a soloist. William McGregor, the winner of the 2017 Stulberg International String Competition in Kalamazoo, is guest soloist in this program of music by two Italian composers plus Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 4, which the German composer wrote to evoke the sights and sounds of Italy.
This program is funded in part by the Fremont Area Community Foundation, Nestle Nutrition/Gerber Products and the Jeff Kinzbach Family.
