Texas Medical Center Orchestra Celebrates 25 Years at Houston’s Hobby Center
/
The Texas Medical Center Orchestra will head to the Hobby Center to perform From Darkness to Light, a concert celebrating a quarter century of musical excellence, as well as the orchestra’s challenges and triumphs through its 25 years.
The concert takes place 7 p.m. May 10.
The TMCO is one of the rare orchestras consisting entirely of those who work in the health profession. Most of the members share a dedication to music that goes beyond their daily occupations.
From Darkness to Light begins with Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64. Dr. Mann-Wen Lo of the University of Houston’s Moores School of Music is the guest soloist on the piece.
The orchestra, led by founder and artistic musical director, Libi Lebel, will next present Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, a monumental symphony known for its wide emotional landscape. This work includes an iconic Adagietto and displays the struggles and triumphs of the human spirit.
