Julian Rachlin, conductor
Santiago Cañón-Valencia, cello

Guest conductor Julian Rachlin leads the Orchestra in Beethoven’s “Eroica” Symphony, one of the greatest orchestral works ever written. Rachlin also conducts the folk music-flavored Sinfonietta No. 1 of Mieczysław Weinberg, a Polish, Soviet, and Russian composer who flourished in post-war Soviet Union. Colombian cellist Santiago Cañón-Valencia, winner of the Silver Medal at the 2019 International Tchaikovsky Competition, joins the orchestra for Tchaikovsky’s graceful and charming Variations on a Rococo Theme, a tasteful and refined work inspired by the music of Mozart.
