Classical Music at the Cathedral with the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra
Vienna, Stephansdom — main
About the Event
Experience a thrilling orchestral concert with the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra in the impressive acoustics of St. Stephen’s Cathedral.
The program combines energy, virtuosity, and great symphonic expressiveness: The evening opens energetically with John Adams’s fast‐paced “Short Ride in a Fast Machine.” This is followed by the poetic “Butterfly Lovers’ Violin Concerto” by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang, performed by violinist Maria Schleuning. The grand finale is Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s powerful and passionate Symphony No. 4, a masterpiece of late‐Romantic orchestral literature.
Founded in 1972, the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra (GDYO) is one of the most prominent youth music organizations in the United States. Having grown from an ensemble of 35 members, the GDYO now brings together more than 500 young musicians aged 6 to 18 in numerous high‐caliber ensembles—ranging from symphony orchestras to chamber and wind ensembles to jazz groups.
Look forward to an impressive concert evening full of youthful energy, musical precision, and symphonic passion in the heart of Vienna.
