The award-winning Houston Youth Symphony kicks-off the 2011/12 season on November 6, 2011 with its Fall Concert.

This concert is highlighted by Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1 in F Minor, Op. 10. Conductor and HYS Artistic Director Michael Webster notes of this work, written when Shostakovich was just 19, that “[his] choices of melodic and harmonic material, pacing, color, mood, and orchestration were mature, sophisticated, and emotionally powerful far beyond his years.”

Additional works include:

Emperor Waltz by Johann Strauss, Jr. (arr. Merle J. Isaac)
Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Johannes Brahms
Overture to The Sicilian Vespers by Guiseppe Verdi

And

The Overture to Russlan and Ludmilla by Mikhail Glinka
