20 Feb Review: ‘Musicians’ Choice’ afternoon a hit with EPO crowd

Sunday afternoon’s “Musicians’ Choice” concert with the Evansville Philharmonic Orchestra thrilled an enthusiastic and appreciative local audience that filled the Victory Theatre and applauded thunderously for soloist Graham Cullen and music director Roger Kalia with the forces of the EPO.

It was heartwarming to see (and hear) so much enthusiastic support for our fine local musicians. 

Kalia spoke about the idea for the program itself: why not let the musicians, all of whom have had active and long-term participation in concert music, select their favorite works or works they would love to hear performed by the EPO?

Each of the three selections was introduced by an orchestra member; the three pieces created an interestingly varied program that included relatively unknown works as well as chestnuts like the Antonin Dvořák Cello Concerto.
