This list, uncensored, is the concerts I'm most interested in. The full list contains lots of faculty recitals and theater shows: this shorter list just contains the larger concerts in Hill Auditorium. (Part of the reason I'm interested this year is that after this school year, Hill Auditorium will be closed for 18 months.) <--------->September<---------> 25 Tue. University Symphony Orchestra Hill Auditorium 8:00 PM Kenneth Kiesler, conductor. The USO will perform Haydn's Symphony No. 100 (Military Symphony) and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 12 (1917/Lenin). <--------->October<---------> 2 Tue.

Re #3 - Gustav Meier's not conducting at the Halloween concert anymore? I knew that he had "officially" retired, but I had thought that he came back each year as a guest conductor for the Halloween concert. I guess I was wrong.
I'm playing in the October 3 concert, so if you come to it you'll score a free Grexer sighting as well as getting to hear some great music!
