Maurice Cohn, music director

RICHARD STRAUSS Don Juan

JOSEPH HAYDN Cello Concerto in D - Sterling Elliot, cello

L. van BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 5

“There was nothing modest about the virtuosic performance of Sterling Elliott, however, another prodigious musical talent. Effortlessly balancing the combined forces of the orchestra (under Seaton’s very clear baton), Elliott tossed off the several cadenza-like sections (including the marvelous trill in Variation V) while trading luscious lyrical lines with various solo parts. And to think that this accomplished musician has not yet completed an undergraduate degree!”

William Hemminger of Courier & Press
