The Manila Symphony Orchestra opens its 2011 concert season with "The Viennese Symphonic Tradition: A Gustav Mahler Centennial Celebration". The concert features a highly challenging repertoire of Mahler's Symphony no. 5 and Franz Joseph Haydn's Cello Concerto no. 2 in D Major, with one of the best Filipino cellists, the US-based Wilfredo Pasamba, as soloist and Prof. Arturo Molina as conductor. The concert traces the beginnings of the symphonic tradition with Haydn, the Father of the Symphony and ends with Mahler, who is considered as one of the last great composers under the Viennese symphonic tradition. The concert is part of Symphonie, The Guest Orchestra series of the CCP.
