The Strauss Horn Concerto No. 2 was written in 1941, premiered in the US in 1948–and now premieres at the Sunnyside Conservatory, performed by hornist Alex Strachan and pianist Jason Oestenstad.

Two original premieres by Excelsior District composer/arranger and bassoonist, Jason Gibbs, will also be performed: tricorn and Quintet (Creatures of Prometheus). The second piece was arranged in response to the player’s feelings that the Beethoven Quintet for oboe, bassoon and 3 horns didn’t feel “finished.”

The last piece, Musica Callada VII, is based upon whimsical piano motifs composed by Mompou.
