Twenty-two year old cellist, Tina Guo, so enjoyed by 2006-07 season audiences, will rejoin the Auburn Symphony as soloist for its third Subscription Series Concert of the 2007-08 season, "Romancing the Exotic," Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday at 3 p.m.
Guo will play Dvorak's most poetic masterpiece, "Cello Concerto in B Minor." This magnificent piece, one of Dvorak's three concertos and perhaps the greatest ever written for the cello, was his last American composition.
Guo plays both acoustic and electric cello, one for chamber music and one for new music, especially the fusion of classical and progressive metal genres. This year she performed with her progressive metal band "Off the Deep End" at the wrap party for the Sundance Festival in Utah. She has also performed with Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban and John Legend as well as recorded on John Legend's new album. For more details on Tina's activities visit her website www.tinaguo.com.
Other works on the "Romancing the Exotic" schedule are Vaughan Williams' Overture to The Wasps and The Liszt's "Les Preludes" and his "Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2."
The concert takes place at Placer High School Auditorium on the corner of High and Agard Streets, Auburn.
Tickets for $28 to $48 adults, $14-$24 students 12 and under and $22 to $38 seniors may be purchased by phone at (530)823-6683, via the internet at www.auburnsymphony.com at the Symphony Office, 808 High St., Auburn. Also at the door on the day of the performance.
