The 2018-2019 Central Oregon Symphony season will commence with cellist, Cecilia Tasn, performing the Concerto for Cello by Elgar. Tsan, whom the Los Angeles Times proclaims is a musician with “uncompromising musical character and a towering technique,” has appeared with the Central Oregon Symphony in the past and we are excited to welcome her back to Central Oregon. The primary symphonic work on the concert will be Schumann’s Symphony No. 3 “Rhenish.” This grand work is an artistic tip of the cap to the Rhine Valley, inspired by an extended pilgrimage that Schumann and his wife, Clara, took through the Rhineland in 1850.
