Brilliantly constructed, the four-movement work culminates in an unflagging, energetic finale based on a single theme and is filled with drama and excitement. The program also includes Johann Sebastian Bach’s masterful Orchestral Suite No. 4 in D, BWV 1069 and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 2 in E-flat, K. 417, featuring soloist Gunnery Sgt.
