Fanfare of Firsts at Symphony this weekend



There is a lot of excitement about this weekend's symphony performance, and it isn't focused on the mammoth concerto for piano and orchestra that will close out the evening. Instead, the fanfare goes to all the firsts.  

Violinist and composer Piotr Szewczyk will premiere his Fanfare for the First Coast, a piece commissioned by the Jacksonville Symphony Orchestra after Szewczyk was named winner of the 2008 Fresh Ink Florida Composers? Competition.

I went, and the "Fanfare" was excellent, you could really feel the power.  The Symphony Chorus sounded great - in German - on the two Psalms.  The piano concerto, and the soloist were just amazing!
