Toledo Symphony to Perform on Oct. 24

The Toledo Symphony Orchestra will perform “Stormy Seas & Scandinavian Sunsets” at Winebrenner Theological Seminary at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24. The performance is part of The University of Findlay’s Concert and Lecture Series.
The concert is presented through the generosity of Mariann and Chuck Younger, Hilton Garden Inn and National Lime and Stone Co.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for senior citizens and $10 for students. Admission for UF undergraduate and graduate students is free, but a ticket is required. UF faculty and staff may purchase tickets for $15. Tickets are available by calling the Box Office at 419-434-5335 or emailing boxoffice@findlay.edu.
The concert will include Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto “La Tempesta di mare,” the U.S. premier performer of Vasks’s “Lonely Angel,” Britten’s “Four Sea Interludes” and Sibelius’s Symphony No. 2.  
Karina Canellakis will be the conductor. Recently appointed assistant conductor of the Dallas Symphony, she has gained national and worldwide recognition as a promising young American conductor. She made her Carnegie Hall conducting debut in Zankel Hall, and frequently appears as guest conductor of New York’s groundbreaking International Contemporary Ensemble.
Canellakis is also a gifted violinist, and will be playing and conducting for the October 24 program.
This summer Canellakis was one of only two conducting fellows at Boston Symphony’s Tanglewood Music Center. This season she is conducting for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and Colorado and Toledo symphonies.
