Episode Synopsis

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra played Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man;" Beethoven's Violin Concerto with PSO Concertmaster David McCarroll as soloist, and the Shostakovich Symphony No. 5 at Heinz Hall the weekend of December 5th, 2025. WQED-FM was there to broadcast the concert on Sunday December 7th live.

During intermission, WQED-FM's Jim Cunningham spoke with PSO Music Director Manfred Honeck, who spoke about the rave reviews of the orchestra's concert at Carnegie Hall in New York City earlier in the week and his plans for the holidays. Jim also spoke with soloist and PSO Concertmaster David McCarroll about the Beethoven violin concerto, and the Bach encore he played. Jim was then joined by Pittsburgh Symphony Vice-President of Artistic Planning Mary Persin with a recap of the New York City trip, and what people can look forward to with the Pittsburgh Symphony during the rest of the December.
