André Previn

The Pacific Symphony is having a concert this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (tonight) at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall.

I am not attending this one, but it will broadcast on KUSC, on July 26.

Listen to Alan Chapman's preview on SoundCloud.

Music director Carl St.Clair will be performing with violinist Jaime Laredo, cellist Sharon Robinson, soprano Elizabeth Futral, and André Previn himself at the piano.
