The Stanford Symphony Orchestra's (SSO) fall concert on Saturday was a remarkable event that drew a sizable crowd, despite the inclement weather. The evening's program featured three works, each showcasing the orchestra's exceptional skill and artistry.
The concert began with "Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche" ("Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks") by Richard Strauss, a prime example of "program music," which tells a story or conveys an image through music. The piece follows the adventures of Till, a mischievous anti-hero from German folklore, and the SSO's performance brought the narrative to ### with precision and flair.
The highlight of the evening was the Concerto in D major for Violin and Orchestra, featuring soloist Richard Cheung '24, a winner of the 2023 Concerto Competition. Cheung's mastery of the violin was on full display, as he navigated the concerto's demanding passages with ease and confidence.
