The MPO welcomes violinist Andrew Sords as our featured guest soloist in our May, 2009 concert, “Hit Parade.” Sords will perform the ever popular Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with the MPO, and he’ll stick around a few days afterwards to perform the third movement from the concerto at the annual Como Park QMC concert.
Sords will be the youngest soloist MPO has ever welcomed, and at the same time, he is also the first soloist we have ever engaged from “out of town” (Sords splits time between Cleveland, Ohio and Dallas, Texas.) For further information, visit his website!
