Michael Haithcock, conductor
Adam Unsworth, soloist

Pre-concert conversation with Paul Dooley and Michael Haithcock at 7:15 PM in the lower lobby.

The old becomes new, transformed by the creative mind. Old English folk songs set by Gustav Holst found new life and were rescued from oblivion. Paul Dooley’s new concerto for an old instrument is written for U-M’s Adam Unsworth, a stunning virtuoso. David Maslanka’s Symphony No. 8 explores the transformative power of the arts to lift the human spirit.

PROGRAM: Holst- Second Suite in F; Paul Dooley- Horn Concerto (premiere performance); David Maslanka- Symphony No. 8
