CONCERT JUNE 4 MARKS END OF CUMMING’S HSO TENURE
Edward Cumming will lead the Hartford Symphony Orchestra for the last time as music director June 4 and a number of local choral organizations will be on hand to help say farewell to the maestro.
This celebratory performance will feature the combined vocal forces of The Hartford Chorale, CONCORA, Connecticut Children’s Chorus, and soloists Jessica Winn and Steven Tharp, as well as The Bushnell’s original Hartford-made Austin Organ performing Berlioz’s Te Deum and the American premiere of Stephen Montague’s Requiem: The Trumpets Sounded Calling Them to the Other Side.
Prior to this concert, there will be a pre-concert discussion with Cumming from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., where he will be joined by composer Stephen Montague to discuss the program. He will also share some concluding remarks on the previous nine seasons. After the concert, audience members will be invited to the lobby for a special meet-and-greet with Cumming to celebrate and thank him for his dedication to the HSO.
