Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Nov 9-11. Conductor Manfred Honeck leads the CSO in a program of valedictory masterpieces. Arabella Steinbacher, highly regarded for her "finely polished technique and a beautifully varied palette of timbres" (The New York Times), performs Berg's last composition, his deeply moving Violin Concerto written in memory of Alma Mahler's daughter. Schubert's exuberant final symphony has one of the most exhilarating finales in symphonic repertoire.
