“It is hard to imagine that it has been nearly 10 years since a gathering of musical friends paired together Mozart and Strauss under the banner of Gateway,” said Gregory Wolynec, Gateway Chamber Orchestra Music Director. “Now, more than six subscription seasons later, national recognition, Grammy awards for our producer and an identifiable approach to the great Viennese masters, we are excited to reconnect with Mozart and Strauss on a concert also featuring the energetic Urban Sprawl by Clint Needham.”
