Immanuel and Helen Olshan Texas Music Festival - "Musical Firsts" WEEK 2
This summer the 27th Annual Immanuel and Helen Olshan Texas Music Festival (TMF) will chart several musical firsts, including the TMF debut of distinguished Austrian conductor Hans Graf, the longest serving Music Director in Houston Symphony history. He will conduct the TMF Orchestra for ‘Musical Firsts,” comprising the first major orchestral compositions by Sergei Rachmaninov, Anton Webern and Alban Berg.
These are all composers Maestro Graf has a particular affinity for, and he is known as a preeminent interpreter of their work. The three “Musical Firsts are:” Rachmaninov: Symphony No. 1 in D Minor, Op. 13; Webern: Passacaglia, Op. 1; and Berg: Three Pieces for Orchestra, Op. 6. .
