The symphony was great. There were a lot of firsts in this concert. It was the opening program of the season. In the 79 years of the Chattanooga Symphony, this was the debut of only the 8th conductor. She's the first woman, the first Japanese-American, and the youngest person to be our conductor. The new maestra is [url=http://www.chattanoogasymphony.org/index.cfm?pageID=artistDetail&recNbr=319][b]Kayoko Dan[/b][/url] and she was warmly welcomed by the audience. She's just a little bitty thing, and only 33, but already seems to have a good rapport with the orchestra. The program was excellent - Rimsky-Korsakov (Capriccio Espagnol), Tchaikovsky (Capriccio Italien), and Dvorak (Symphony #8).
