Benjamin Britten’s haunting Serenade takes center stage, framed by the horn’s ethereal solos. Baltimore Symphony Principal Horn James Ferree and Grammy-award winner tenor Nicholas Phan make their MITV debuts. The program concludes with a more relaxed and sociable side of Beethoven in his playful Serenade for string trio.
