    Astral Artists, one of the nation’s premier organizations for the career development of exceptional emerging classical musicians, concludes its season with a performance featuring Astral artists as soloists with Symphony in C. To open, saxophonist Doug O’Connor, who The Philadelphia Inquirer says “can do seemingly anything coloristically,” takes the stage for Ibert’s jaunty Concertino da Camera. Next, Bruch’s Scottish Fantasy, a piece from the heart of the violin repertoire, showcases Astral violinist Saeka Matsuyama’s “interpretive sophistication and drive” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). The program culminates with an East Coast première from Astral’s 2009-2011 composer-in-residence – Aaron Jay Kernis’s award-winning Colored Field for Cello and Orchestra, inspired by the composer’s trip to Auschwitz and Birkenau in 1989, is performed by the “mesmerizing” (The Philadelphia Inquirer) cellist Susan Babini.
