Summary: Welcome to this digital edition of Phillip Huscher's Program Notes for upcoming concerts by the CSO Jun 1-4. In his CSO podium debut, Juraj Valcuha leads Haydn's Symphony No. 85, said to have been a favorite of Queen Marie Antoinette, and Szymanowski's First Violin Concerto, performed by Christian Tetzlaff, "an artist of rare virtuosity and fearless commitment" (San Jose Mercury News). Richard Strauss' Suite from Der Rosenkavalier is dazzlingly orchestrated and includes several famous waltzes.
