Highlighting the world premier performance of the ETSO commissioned work, “Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano” by young 16 year old composer Jay Greenberg, the Eroica Trio joins the East Texas Symphony Orchestra with Music Director/Conductor Per Brevig at the podium.
Commissioned by the East Texas Symphony Orchestra Association with funding from the Women’s Symphony League of Tyler, Greenberg’s Concerto matches his earlier successes of five full scale symphonies, solo piano pieces and sonatas.
Cited as the youngest composer ever signed to exclusive contracts with IMG Artists and Sony Classical, his first CD records his Symphony No. 5 performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
