This performance features two first symphonies by great American composers, both old and new: Samuel Barber’s Symphony No. 1 and the world premiere of the first full symphonic work by Nashville-based composer C.F. Kip Winger, previously known for his work in the rock band Winger. Winger’s Symphony No. 1 and Brad Warnaar’s Cornet Concerto, the latter featuring the phenomenally talented José Sibaja, will be recorded for forthcoming releases on the Naxos label.
