About the Program
In this special event, we celebrate Neal Gittleman and the Orchestra. The concert begins with three world premieres by area composers, longtime collaborators, and friends of the Philharmonic Austin Jaquith, Steven Winteregg, and Michael Schelle. Then, in an homage to those onstage and in the audience, Maestro Gittleman leads the orchestra in Elgar’s Enigma Variations, a gorgeous work which Elgar wrote in honor of his own friends.
