The votes are in and the winner of the People’s Choice Overture is “Capricco Espagnol” by Rimsky-Korsakov. Conductor Bohuslav
Rattay decided to allow the audience to have a hand in selecting the opening piece for the Lake Charles Symphony’s Feb. 2
concert.
Votes were cast at earlier symphony events, including the September concert, the Discovery Series, Art Promenade and the Holiday
Gala.
“Capricco Espagnol,” with its lively
melodies based on Spanish folk tunes, emerged as the clear favorite. The
Haydn Trumpet
Concerto, showcasing one of the symphony’s own, David Scott, and
the popular Symphony No. 2 by Finnish composer Jean Sibelius
round out the Feb. 2 program.
