UT Department of Music Faculty & Toledo Perform at Carnegie to Rave Reviews

Members of The University of Toledo Department of Music performed with the Toledo Symphony at Carnegie Hall, Saturday, May 7. They performed "Every Good Boy Deserves Favour," a kind of "play with orchestra," created by composer André Previn and playwright Tom Stoppard, in which the orchestra serves as one of several characters. Toledo Symphony conductor Stefan Sanderling chose the piece, paired with Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 6, as the program for the TSO's application for Carnegie Hall's Spring for Music festival, and as a result, the Symphony was rewarded with the prestigious Saturday night slot of the opening weekend. This was the premiere of the full-orchestration version of this piece at Carnegie.
