<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">The <b>Moscow State Symphony Orchestra</b> is one of the oldest and most revered orchestras in Russia. T<i>he Los Angeles Times</i> used words like “passionate”
and “revelatory” to put their concert experience into tangible description. The performance on November 7<sup>th</sup> will also feature</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> young Armenian cellist, Narek Hakhnazaryan, who has earned critical
acclaim with major orchestras around the globe, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Together they will perform Schumann’s <b>Cello Concerto in A minor</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Opening with Wagner’s <b>Tristan und Isolde Overture</b><i>, </i>from the opera of the same name, it is a musical adventure all its own. Wagner’s music
not only provided inspiration for numerous other composers but set the pace for classical music in the 20<sup>th</sup> century. The ensemble will close the concert with <b>Symphony No. 2 </b>by Jean Sibelius, which many consider to be a musical/political
statement and a “Symphony of Independence.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
