Shelley Conducts The Sorcerer's Apprentice & Strauss

These are melodies you know, leaping from the symphony to the silver screen. Conductor Alexander Shelley brings orchestral magic with Dukas’ *The Sorcerer’s Apprentice* (Disney’s *Fantasia)* and Strauss’ dramatic tone poem, featuring its iconic sunrise fanfare (*2001: A Space Odyssey*). Virtuoso James Ehnes debuts a sweeping Violin Concerto by film composer James Newton Howard.
