Mr. Szasz enjoys a world wide reputation as a soloist and is the founder of a spring music festival inRomania.  The “suite in F Mojor for Two Horns” will feature longtime Sinfonietta principal horn David Pandolfi with his son Adam Pandolfi, also on horn.  Both david Pandolfi andDaniel Szaszare members of the Alabama Symphony where they hold the positions of Principal Horn and Concertmaster, respectively.

Other selections on the program include Johan Strauss, Jr.’s “Vienna Blood Waltz” and Gustav Holst’s “Brook Green Suite.  The evening will end with the traditional “Finale” from Haydn’s “Farewell Symphony” which features the musicians leaving the stage one at a time, extinguishing a candle as they go until the stage is empty.
