Organist Peter Richard Conte, Wanamaker Grand Court Organist, joins the orchestra as soloist in both Richard Strauss’ Festive Prelude – a majestic and celebratory opening – and Saint-Saëns’s monumental Symphony No. 3, the “Organ Symphony,” culminating in one of the repertoire’s most exhilarating finales. Violinist Michael Ludwig, former Associate Concertmaster of The Philadelphia Orchestra, also joins PYO for Barber’s lyrical and deeply expressive Concerto for Violin and Orchestra.
