Listen in on Sunday at 8 p.m. on 90.9 WGUC. 🎶🎵

Tune in to 90.9 WGUC on Sunday (MAR 30) at 8PM to listen to our JAN 2025 program STRAUSS & DEBUSSY featuring guest conductor Jun Märkl and CSO Principal Horn Elizabeth Freimuth as the featured soloist!

Till Eulenspiegel follows the exploits of a noted trickster but doesn’t fool around. The super virtuosic work is a freewheeling tour de force for every member of the Orchestra, beginning with a famous horn solo. Freimuth then steps into the spotlight with a popular early concerto by Strauss, and Debussy’s impressionistic Images create the musical equivalent of a Monet masterpiece.
