From writing an overture for a non-existent operetta, to delivering a sardonic classically-scaled work instead of a promised grand victory symphony, to composing a concerto without an elaborate cadenza for its soloist, the three composers on this program defied societal and musical expectations to create memorable works filled with character and beauty.

Mason: Toast of the Town overture
Shostakovich:Symphony No. 9 in E-flat Major, Op. 70
Dvorak: Cello Concerto in B Minor, Op. 104
Nathan Chan, cello
