Tucson Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Hersh - Catalina Foothills High School
Program Info: Tucson Symphony Orchestra Nicholas Hersh, conductor Kerson Leong, violin
Kerson Leong, who dazzled TSO audiences in 2022, returns to perform Korngold’s romantic Violin Concerto, written during his Hollywood years and first performed by the great Jascha Heifetz. The Hollywood-themed first half begins with Bernard Herrmann’s iconic music for the film Psycho. Conductor Nicholas Hersh makes his Masterworks debut with Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 5, “Reformation,” written to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession, when Martin Luther established the Protestant Reformation. It includes the famous Dresden Amen. A noted arranger, Hersh introduces the first performance of his own orchestration of Clara Schumann’s piano collection “4 Pièces caractéristiques.”
Hersh has led the TSO twice before, both on Star Wars In Concert films. Erich Korngold won two Oscars including the score for The Adventures of Robin Hood.
