This concert is a celebration of Spokane’s place in the world of classical music. The concert features three works from the Spokane-based Moldenhauer Archives, a Duke Ellington arrangement by former Spokane Symphony Music Director Gunther Schuller and a world premiere written by leading contemporary American composer, Michael Daugherty, for the Spokane Symphony and Spokane’s most favorite son, baritone Thomas Hampson. The Daugherty work is part of the national celebration of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial.

“Mr. Hampson’s baritone, all oiled walnut, is one of the loveliest around.”
