University Symphony features Sibelius
David M. Jacobs, UO director of orchestral studies and assistant professor of conducting, will conduct the University Symphony on Sunday, Feb. 3. The concert is from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Beall Hall and features Sibelius’ Symphony #2.
Jacobs, in his first year at the UO, says the orchestra has been focusing this year on standard masterworks. Symphony #2 is Sibelius' most significant large-scale work for orchestra.
Jean Sibelius was a Finnish composer during the Romantic period.
