The French Connection comes to Canton Symphony Orchestra, as part of Classical Series VI. The concert will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2009, at 8:00 PM.
Richard Wagner's influence on his fellow composers was profound, even in France, where his own productions flopped. This program brings together the music of four Frenchmen whose work bears the stamp of Wagner's influence, including Ernest Chausson, whose lovely Poeme will occasion CSO Concertmaster Nathan Olson's solo debut with the orchestra.
