DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:SHOSTAKOVICH SYMPHONY NO. 10 AND CONCERT FOR FLUTE AND ORCHESTRA BY NIELSEN =0D=0A=
 HIGHLIGHT VANCOUVER SYMPHONY JANUARY CONCERT =0D=0A=
 Portland flutist Dawn Weiss is first guest artist of 2009 =0D=0A=
 The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra continues its 30 Year Celebration season Saturday, January 17 at 3 pm and Sunday, January 18 at 7 pm with a spectacular program highlighted by the talents of flutist Dawn Weiss. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Maestro Salvador Brotons, now in his 18th season as music director and conductor, will lead The VSO through a program that brings together two works of varying textures: Concerto for Flute and Orchestra by Carl Nielsen and Symphony No.10 in E minor, Op. 93 by Dmitri Shostakovich. =0D=0A=
 =0D=0A=
 Flutist Dawn Weiss is the soloist for Nielsen’s Flute Concerto, a work filled with good humor, and solo turns for most of The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s principal players. Though it also has flashes of humor, Shostakovich’s piece is much more serious business, and seems to be filled with emotions provoked by the death of Stalin in 1953. =0D=0A=

 Dawn Weiss is an accomplished musician of great depth, richness and spirit. Principal Flutist for the Oregon Symphony Orchestra for 25 years, she continues to solo with many orchestras, and performs solo and ensemble recitals nationally and internationally. She’s won prestigious competitions and has released a critically- acclaimed album. Former Principal Flutist of the Mexico State Symphony orchestra and former member of the Miami Philharmonic, she teaches all levels. =0D=0A=
