The orchestra was led by guest conductor David Danzmayr, who was very energetic and enjoyable to watch, at the podium.

The first selection was "Roses From The South" written by Johann Strauss II. Strauss was often referred to as "The Waltz King;  This was  beautiful selection and very enjoyable.  One could almost see young women in white dresses waltzing across the floor with their beaus.

The second piece was"Suite from The Incredible Flutist". It was written by Walter Piston an American composer and Harvard Professor.  Absolutely enjoyable music to hear.  This piece closed the first part of the program

After a short intermission, the program closed with the "Pathetique" written by famed Russian composer, Peter Tchaikovsky.  One can never go wrong having a selection of his on a symphonic program.
