Alberto Ginastera: Variaciones Concertantes
Mozart: Horn Concerto No. 3

TFO’s David Smith shines in Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3, designed for a true virtuoso. Also on the program is Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 1, “Classical,” one of the composer’s most famous works. Though it was written in 1917, it harkens back to the older style of Haydn. Getting the concert started is Alberto Ginastera’s Variaciones Concertantes, a series of 12 short variations that feature every instrument of the orchestra.
