On Sunday, February 15, at 4 p.m., Sage City Symphony, under music director and conductor Michael Finckel, will present its annual chamber orchestra concert. Free and open to the public, the concert will be at Greenwall Auditorium in the VAPA Building on the Bennington College campus. The program will open with the Concerto Grosso, Opus 6, No. 4, in A Minor, by George Frideric Handel, an 18th-century English composer of German birth. This classic of English Baroque style sparkles with life and vigor. Following the Handel, the symphony will perform the Cello Concerto in A Minor by French composer Camille Saint-Saëns, featuring David Gibson as soloist. The work, written in 1872, is structured in one continuous movement and is a favorite of virtuoso cellists. Soloist David Gibson received degrees from the Juilliard School and Yale University. His primary field was cello performance, but he also studied conducting at Juilliard and composition at Yale. While a member of the Center for the Creative and Performing Arts in Buffalo he was associated with the composer Morton Feldman. Gibson is presently Clinical Professor in the Department of the Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Continued on page 2)
