Why You'll Love This Concert
“I have invited cellist Doniyor Zuparov to open my final season with one of the most difficult pieces ever written for the instrument, and I promise that you will be stunned by his artistry. Juxtaposing Beethoven's playful 8th Symphony against the intensity of Shostakovich's virtuoso showpiece sets the perfect tone to open our season.” - Jon Robertson

Redlands Symphony opens season with S...
10/19/15 • by Betty Tyler • The Redlands Daily Facts
...the music dances, roars and almost makes you laugh at times.
And, after balancing its sound with a soloist in the first half of the concert, the orchestra showed all its musical colors in Beethoven’s Eighth.
Fabulous concert! A magnificent pianist with a unique and beautiful interpretation of the performed works.
