Ohio, USA - When we first saw the Akron Symphony’s programme for Schubert and Steel, we thought that the third Brandenburg Concerto, the Schubert ninth symphony and a concerto for steelpan and orchestra might make for unlikely bedfellows. Perhaps some subscribers thought so too, as the crowd in EJ Thomas Hall seemed a bit sparse last Saturday night. If so, they opted out of a really interesting evening, which definitely provided something for everyone. Though the stage was full of musicians warming up 20 minutes before curtain time, there were none to be seen as the clock struck eight and executive director Phil Walz presented a certificate of appreciation to Madeline Bozzelli, president of the Akron Symphony Guild, who sponsored this event.
