John Weinzweig
Edge of the World (OSM premiere)

The Edge of the World: Music for Radio No. 2 is a suite based on music from the 1945-46 CBC radio series The White Empire which featured narratives about northern explorers and was accompanied with a score written by John Weinzweig. Weinzweig's music for this series uses Inuit folk melodies and rhythmic figuring to add to the northern character of the work.

Victor Herbert
Cello Concerto No. 2 (OSM premiere)

Antonin Dvorák
Symphony No. 9 (From the New World)
