The performance will include selections prominently featuring two very special instruments: the Maestro's recently returned bassoon and an historic 1929 Wurlitzer organ. Shared Maestro Parnther, "Tchaikovsky and Grieg penned two of the most compelling and deeply expressive works for string orchestra; Tchaikovsky's Serenade in C Major and Grieg's Holberg Suite, respectively. We will perform excerpts from both

of these incredible works." Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto in D minor, one of the Maestro's personal favorites, will also be performed, but with a creative twist. Specifically, Maestro Parnther will be tackling dual roles as both soloist and conductor on this dazzling work for solo bassoon and orchestra. As mentioned, the bassoon the Maestro will be playing is the very same instrument that was recently returned to him after it was stolen just two days before the March 2020 concert was cancelled due to Covid restrictions. "For my bassoon to be taken two days before my Mozart concerto performance last year... and gifted back in a time for the replacement Vivaldi concerto a PHOTO SBSO   year later... there is a sign in all of Maestro Anthony Parnther will lead the San Bernardino this," said Parnther.
