Guitar Concerto Performed With Illinois Symphony Orchestra

Illinois Symphony Orchestra

A Grammy Award winning guitarist is performing with the Illinois Symphony Orchestra in Bloomington Friday evening.

Jason Vieaux will give his interpretation of the Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquin Rodrigo. Music Director candidate and conductor Andrew Sewell joined us to talk about that work and the Carnival Overture by Antonin Dvorak, composed when Dvorak was 50 and just about to take a position at the head of a conservatory in New York.
